“Mental health is at the core of our humanity.” - António Guterres, UN Secretary-General

October 10 is World Mental Health Day.
Mental health is a clear and urgent issue - it is the next major epidemic. Stress, anxiety, and depression have become the defining health issues of our time – in addition to cancer, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and auto-immune among other chronic diseases that plague modern society. Stress – especially chronic stress – has been identified to be a significant contributing factor to most of not all of these chronic illnesses. It is an epidemic that plagues many professionals – which adversely impact not just productivity but quality of life and long-term mental well-being. For many life increasingly feels like a treadmill that they can’t get off, while others experience a growing sense of loneliness, isolation and disconnect despite living in an age of digital super-connectivity.

Research from publicly available data, private sources and personal experiences clearly demonstrate some clear and present gaps and pain-points in the mental health scene here in Singapore: insufficient available resources and an overloaded public mental healthcare system, a general lack of awareness on the importance of stress management and priorities for self-care and mental wellness (although this is slowly changing), a lack of available tools and channels for timely identification and pre-emptive diagnosis, data-poor islands of point-based care, and a sore lack of a personal life wellness strategy in the public discourse that makes prevention a priority (over intervention) and mental wellness a life priority.

And now with the ongoing pandemic that seems likely won’t be going away anytime soon, the situation has become dramatically more dire. It’s high time that we rethink - re-imagine - a new strategy for our mental health and well-being, individually and collectively.

Come and join our panel of practitioners and champions of mental well-being - to explore what new possibilities exist - the future of mental well-being!

Synopsis
Anxiety and panic continue to dominate active job seekers who live in the midst of the worst recession ever. Besides hundreds of thousands of job losses due to global market disruption, the pandemic has brought about a drastic change in the way we work and live, resulting in certain jobs becoming obsolete.

However, it is not all doom and gloom, many businesses are still hiring during this period, especially those in the digital economy, banking and finance, insurance, healthcare, education, technology, cyber-security and government. The surge of digitization across various business functions and processes has also created new jobs that didn’t exist before.

But the job competition will be more intense. Job seekers will need to work harder than ever to market themselves as employees of choice. What should job seekers do to stand out among the crowd? And where should they look? What are the in-demand areas where one could look to up-skill?
