An Artful Mini-MINDSET Day

MINDSET organises Mini-MINDSET Days annually to provide an avenue for Jardine employees to engage with mental health persons-in-recovery. Through this interaction, we hope to further enhance mental health awareness and reduce the overall stigma associated with these individuals.

This year, close to 70 employees collaborated with over 100 persons-in-recovery on 28 June at Our Tampines Hub. The event provided an opportunity for the participants to engage in lively interactions while creating art together. For the first time, we have colleagues from Starbucks join us at a Mini-MINDSET Day. We are delighted that this opportunity provided them with new insights to mental health.

Panda-stic Afternoon
at the River Safari

Every quarter, we organise the MINDSET Fun Day. Not just a day out for MINDSET representatives to interact with persons-in-recovery, it also provides caregivers with a rest day from their daily routines.

On 30 March, 25 clients and staff from SAMH visited the River Safari, accompanied by 18 JAs. The group toured the wildlife park to learn about the freshwater ecosystems around the world and even took a memorable river ride where they spotted jaguars and giant anteaters along the way. For many, the highlight of the day was definitely catching a glimpse of the famous pandas, Jia Jia & Kai Kai in the Giant Panda Forest.

Together as One

To foster better working relationships amongst Jardine Ambassadors (JAs) and in recognition of their contributions, MINDSET organises annual team bonding sessions for our JAs. The recent session comprised a full day of activities, from an amazing race in the morning to stand-up paddling in the afternoon, before concluding the day with loads of fun and laughter over a scrumptious barbeque.
