Director's Message

Hi CAPTains!

We are CAPT Support, a community of individuals passionate about mental well-being and we seek to promote awareness and understanding about mental health among CAPTains.

Through our training sessions, CAPT Supporters are educated on mental health issues and are empowered with peer-supporting skills. CAPT Supporters strive to cultivate a safe space for CAPTains and help them learn to be in touch with their emotions and enhance their own well-being.

Our dream is to integrate mental wellness into every facet of CAPT life. By encouraging conversations and connections among CAPTains, we hope to create a caring and supportive culture of affirmation and compassion whereby CAPTains care for the well-being of others and for themselves.

Do join us if you wish to build a supportive culture surrounding mental health!

Past Projects

House Initiatives
Throughout the AY, House Supporters will organise initiatives to create safe spaces for conversations on mental health issues to take place, and lay foundations for supportive relationships between supporters and CAPTains between the house. House Supporters are also listening ears and peer supporters in the Neighbourhood for fellow CAPTains 😀
Soft Publicity & Hard Publicity Efforts
Platforms to stay connected: CAPT Support TikTok, Instagram, Telegram Channel, Lift Publicity, B1 Lift Lobby CAPT Support Board. These platforms serve as mediums to raise awareness about mental health and publicise CAPT-wide campaigns that are ongoing or upcoming
Wellness Wednesdays
Wellness Wednesdays is our new initiative last year that seeks to create safe spaces for CAPTains to connect and converse about mental health and wellness. From our end of Semester survey conducted last AY, many CAPTains indicated that they hoped for more intentional platforms to learn about mental health and wellness, as well as to have open dialogues with one another in a vulnerable setting. Hence, we hope that these sessions across the AY, facilitated by Supporters, will allow for increased opportunities for CAPT Support to bring mental health and wellness to the rest of CAPT, thereby also allowing CAPTains to feel more connected to CAPT Support and find Supporters more approachable in the long run.

Examples of Activities: Personal Sharings by CAPTains, Wellness Activities, Reflections and Discussions
CAPT Support's World Mental Health Day CAPT-wide Campaign
World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October every year. In line with the aims set out by WHO to use this day as an opportunity for mental health education, awareness and advocacy, CAPT Support intends to conduct several events and activities within CAPT. These are aimed at:
1. Raising awareness on mental health illnesses and how we can support those struggling with them
2. Enabling CAPTains to practice and learn about mindfulness
3. Finding solidarity with other CAPTains via encouraging conversations of mental health
4. Recognising that support is mutually beneficial (being a supportive peer and being supported by others)
