Last October
20-22, MindNation and Belle De Jour Power Planner held its inaugural on-ground
event "You Got This! Creating Safe Spaces, Crafting Tomorrows" at the
East Wing of the Shangri La Plaza. The event aimed to celebrate World Mental
Health Day, raise mental health awareness and drive action towards investing in
better well-being in communities and workplaces.
During this 3-day gathering, attendees immersed themselves in engaging talks
and interactive workshops by mental health experts and advocates. Topics ranged
from how to create safe spaces at work to gaining confidence, all highlighting
the need for fostering supportive environments to build growth and resilience.

“Mental health is a continuum, where we could be fine one moment but get triggered the next,” said MindNation Chief WellBeing Officer Eiza Fusingan-Lappay. “It’s important we build safe spaces and support each other during challenging times.”
“Community-based mental health is our future,” adds The Millennial Psychologist Riyan Portuguez. “With mental health awareness increasing due to conversations like these, there is now also an increasing demand for more support and resources.”
