Mental wellbeing and social connection are among the greatest determinants of lifelong health, yet too many people continue to face life's challenges without accessible, non-stigmatising pathways to support and belonging.
Risks of isolation and cognitive decline for a super-aged society - 1 out of 5 are currently 65+, accelerating to 1 out of 4 by 2030
4 out of 10 new mothers experience subclinical to clinical symptoms of depression from pregnancy up to 2 years postpartum (10-15% of new mothers experience postnatal depression)
1 in 3 young people in Singapore (aged 15 to 35) have experienced severe or extremely severe symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress.
Shaw Heritage Arts and Wellbeing (SHAW) was created in direct response to the high prevalence of mental health concerns across all age groups in Singapore.
