idsMED Singapore Strengthens Social Connections at Lunch and Learn Session on Mental Well-Being

On 24 October 2023, 25 idsMED Singapore employees attended a Lunch and Learn session titled “Staying Connected – The Importance of Social Support”. Organised by idsMED Singapore’s HR team and funded through a partnership with the Singapore Health Promotion Board, the session focused on managing mental well-being. Ms. Joan Rouen, a Mental Health Coach from Minmed, was invited to facilitate the event. She has 5 years of experience working with homebound patients and is especially passionate about helping clients regain emotional balance in life through art-making, sound healing and training. 

During the session, participants learned about the significance of having strong social connections in managing personal well-being and mental health. Ms. Joan Rouen shared some valuable tips and skills for effectively providing support to those in need.

To encourage the practical application of the knowledge gained, the second half of the session featured a hands-on drawing activity where participants were tasked to draw whatever came to their minds. This activity was designed to stimulate conversations among participants when they later had to present and share their artwork with others.

Overall, the session provided a fruitful and enjoyable experience, promoting the relaxation of the mind and getting to know each other better.  idsMED Singapore extends a heartfelt thanks to the HR team for organising this informative Lunch and Learn session, which greatly enriched the knowledge of all who attended. Much appreciation also goes to the participants who actively engaged in the session, contributing to its success.
