Over the last year, SAMH has made headway with regards to developing services, engaging leaders, building up a
network of peers and developing a communications strategy to reach the public. At our last Charity Dinner, it was
the first time a Head of State, President Dr Tony Tan was a Guest-of-Honour. SAMH also had a golden opportunity
to update Health Minister Mr Gan Kim Yong during his visit to Club 3R to garner support for the Association’s work
and to address some of the challenges faced in developing community mental health services related to resource
allocation e.g. lack of suitable sites for new services. Interestingly the visit was initiated by an inspired caregiver, the
father of a client in our services. This highlights the important role of caregivers in enhancing mental health outreach
and service delivery systems.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
ss

Towards M
I am a psychiatrist whose subspecialty is in working with children and adolescents.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialise in mental illness. By this very notion,
it means that psychiatrists can be rather dogmatic in the way they view problems.
Mental illnesses or psychiatric disorders have been classified for the longest time
using a medical model classification system. Such a system implies discreet categories
of illnesses based on either symptom clustering or causality. In psychiatry, most of the
illnesses are based on symptom clusters as causes are often complex and not linear in
nature. Many psychiatrists use medications as the mainstay of treatment to alleviate
symptoms associated with serious mental illnesses. However, mental illnesses have
many concurrent social issues that need more than just medicine. Motivation for
treatment, support of peers and caregivers and a nurturing society that can accept
the marginalised and stigmatised cannot be treated with medications. This is the role
of the Singapore Association for Mental Health. Our objectives are to promote mental
health, prevent mental illness, improve the care and rehabilitation of the mentally ill
and the emotionally disturbed, and to reduce the misconception and social stigma
that surround mental illness. Many of what SAMH hopes to do cannot be done by
ourselves alone and would need collaboration and partnership.

Encouraging Help Seeking Behaviour
The recent Singapore Mental Health Survey reveals that there is a significant delay to
seek professional help for psychiatric disorders. Self and perceived stigma continues
to be barriers in the delivery of community mental health services. The challenge
for any community mental health organisation like SAMH is to continue to pioneer
integrated non-stigmatized service systems so people can utilise this services without
worrying about perceptions. For this to happen, an overall collaborative process
needs to be in place which supports the development of a seamless service network
and creating a culture of openness and acceptance within our communities.

(b) Social Enterprise
AH staff managed the Suntec Retail Store, a
groundbreaking eight-month project that involved
staff and clients from AH and other SAMH centres. The
objectives were to help clients enhance vocational skills
and facilitate readiness for competitive employment, as
well as to increase public awareness of SAMH services,
and in the process reduce misconceptions and social
stigma surrounding mental illness. Creative handmade
items like jewelry, handphone accessories and paintings
were sold, with proceeds going back to the residents
after deducting the basic cost of materials.
SOCIAL WORK SERVICES
Social Work Services (SWS) aims to deliver enriching
and effective rehabilitation for residents in PV with the
eventual goal of re-integrating into the community.
Psychosocial rehabilitation programmes conducted
include individual case management, job and social
assessments, personal skills training sessions, support
groups and recreational activities.
A highlight during the financial year was the collaboration
between SWS and both Northeast and Northwest
Community Development Centres (CDC) to develop
the vocational skills of residents through special skills
courses offered by them. Residents with interest and
potential for external employment were encouraged to
apply for CDC training programmes such as Motivational
Workshop to boost confidence, ‘Shape-Up’ to improve
retail image and sales approaches, and Workforce

In FY2011, VPS provided residents with 277 external
employment opportunities. A total of 263 residents
(94.9%) were successfully employed. This constitutes
an average of 22 residents being successfully employed
each month. We are grateful to employers concerned
for providing these opportunities and support to our
residents. In the new financial year, we will continue to
work with the residents and employers on job retention.

In FY2011, sexuality issues were increasingly discussed
in individual psychological interventions as a response to
emerging trends. Male and female residents were also
integrated in group sessions to facilitate appropriate
interaction in community conditions. To enhance
engagement and content delivery, the use of multimedia
was increased to encourage positive feedback.
Another milestone during the year was participants in
the computer-based Cognitive Training programme
completing the basic course and either graduating to
the advanced course or gaining employment.

Developing Community Initiatives
A review of our services in FY2011 has shown that all programmes continue to meet their service targets. SAMH has
also been working with major stakeholders like the Agency for Integrated Care and the Ministry of Health to be part
of a larger national mental health strategy. A number of new initiatives were pioneered to address the needs of our
clients and their families.
(1)
The management contract for the Pelangi Village Activity Hub has been renewed by MCYS for another five
year period with effect from 1st April 2012. “Project 65”, a new individualised programme proposal which is
developed based on length of stay, age grouping and as well as the aspirational need of the residents was
adopted for implementation. With the changing profile of the new residents, it was important to revisit the
programme strategy.
(2)
Creative Hub was opened in September 2011 at Goodman Arts Centre as part of a 5-year plan to expand
SAMH’s Club 3R services in the community. The service delivery is based on an integrative concept that utilises
creative arts and therapeutic work and aspires to reduce stigmatisation.
(3)
Tote Board Community Healthcare Fund (TBCHF), approved a sum of $859,807 (80% of programme cost) in
support of SAMH YouthReach Residence. It is an innovative, youth respite program that looks at the recovery
of youth identified with a mental illness. It is based on a unique combination of WrapAround, Milieu Therapy
and Psychiatric Rehabilitation Model. This will provide a step down facility from hospital inpatient care. The
current challenge is locating suitable facilities to launch the programme.
(4)
SAMH partnered RealTime Health to produce an educational video titled 'Living with Schizophrenia'. The video
is interview driven with personal stories shared by participants living with schizophrenia. The online video is a
valuable tool for SAMH to reach out to the patients and family members. With this added asset, we are looking
forward to reaching out to an even wider group of audience especially through the uploading of the video to
the internet. Through this partnership we are able to address the need for Asian Based Recovery Stories to
enhance our outreach strategy. SAMH would be piloting the launch of a mobile application to help people
cope with their mental illness.
(5)
SAMH has merged Club3R services with the Oasis Club for greater synergy of drop in services for the mentally
ill who are well enough to be home or go to work but still require some level of support and recreation. Plans
are underway for the expansion of its services into two other locations namely Jurong and Bedok and to ease
the over-crowding situation at the Toa Payoh location.
(6)
SAMH has set up a Research committee led by Professor John Rush from Duke NUS Graduate Medical School
to look into answering some of the questions about specific gaps and needs in our community work.
(7)
Time and effort was invested to develop corporate collaterals. Exciting, new programme brochures, Hope
Newsletter and posters were developed as part of this outreach strategy, to enhance the communication
and outreach. Efforts will continue, to expand corporate collaterals and to develop more electronic-based
communication.
(8)
SAMH and Silver Ribbon had jointly submitted a bid for hosting the World Federation Mental Health Biennial
Congress 2015, with the theme, “The New Synergy: Peer & Professional Partnership”. This congress will allow
SAMH to work towards the collaborative advocacy role that is important in the development of mental health
services.
(9)
NTUC Learning Hub and Northwest CDC are working with SAMH Oasis Day Centre and Club 3R to develop
an Environmental Cleaning WSQ Course for residents of Pelangi Village which will equip them for employment

Creati ve Hub
Creative Hub was opened in September 2011 at
Goodman Arts Centre as part of a five-year plan to
expand SAMH’s Club 3R services in the community. It
is an integrative concept that incorporates the creative
arts in therapeutic work. Predicated on the belief that
people can heal and grow through creative expression,
visual art, music and dance are utilised in a supportive
environment to promote recovery and mental wellness.
From unformatted
Word document
Creative Hub
Through the Creative Hub,
• Persons with mental disorders will have a communitybased platform for expressive therapy. This will
enhance integration and reduce stigmatisation.
• Caregivers struggling with the care of persons with
mental illness can be supported by using expressive
arts in improving their personal wellbeing.
• The general public can use expressive arts as a
therapeutic tool for reducing stress, increasing
self-awareness and preventing the development of
disorders.
• Public awareness and education will increase
collaboration among community partners, thus
creating more opportunities for persons with mental
illness.

STATISTICAL RETURNS FOR OASIS DAY CENTRE
oasis Day centre (oDc) provides psycho-social rehabilitation for people with
psychiatric conditions. the main objective of oDc is to assist the trainees in reintegrating into the community by helping them improve the management of their
psychiatric conditions. training hours start from 9am to 5pm from mondays to fridays
(except public holidays). oDc is a programme funded by the ministry of health (moh)
and the national council of social service (ncss). trainees are required to pay a
monthly programme fee ranging from $10 to $35, which is calculated based on means
testing, a subsidy system introduced by moh.
Intake Assessments/ Admission Procedures
all referred applicants are required to attend an intake interview at oDc, whose
purpose is to assess suitability, while providing the applicant an opportunity to view
and learn about the centre. as the involvement and support of the family are important
in the rehabilitation process, at least one family member of the applicant must be
present at the intake assessment to provide an overview of the applicant’s profile. at
the same time, the process provides staff with an opportunity to clarify and have a
better understanding of the applicant’s life issues and goals.

in fY2010, 2 trainees took on the caregiving role at
home for their elderly brother and mother who had
chronic illnesses. as a result, the trainees had to apply
for long leave from oDc. last year, there were also a few
trainees who had to recuperate at home due to falls and
operations.
a person with mental illness between ages 19 to 55 can apply with a referral from
a psychiatrist. an application should include a psychiatric assessment and a social
report from the respective psychiatrist and medical social worker. photocopies of the
applicant and caregivers’ essential documents such as identity card, recent pay slips,
income tax and cpf statements are also required for means testing.

Pilot Programme for Dual Diagnosis
oDc started a pilot programme for persons with Dual
Diagnosis, working initially with persons with psychiatric
disability as well as with mild intellectual disability, to
study the needs and support required to support them.
all 5 who were admitted to the programme were able to
integrate into the main programme and 1 was discharged
for employment. oDc continues to work with special
schools and service partners to better support persons
with Dual Diagnosis.
Vocational Training
in fY2010, 5 trainees were discharged from oDc to open
employment. Discharge was initiated by the trainees,
supported by their caregivers, when they felt that they
had settled into their employment and was confident
of sustaining themselves on the job independently.
amongst these 5 trainees, 1 of them had a Dual Diagnosis
of a mild intellectual disability and psychiatric disability. in
the process of preparing her for work, we partnered the
family to educate them on illness management, specific
supports which the trainee will need to manage their
work stress and ways to communicate with the trainee to
facilitate sustenance. at the time of reporting, she was still
helping out in the family’s mobile flea market business.
Success Story – ‘Taking the First Step’
the highlight of this year’s vocational training is the
celebration for a trainee who went out to work for the
first time in her life! after a period of psycho-social
training, skills training and vocational counselling, oDc
placed her on work trials to let her gain confidence and
exposure. from the success that she experienced, she was
motivated to get a job on her own. she applied to work as
part of a fast food crew and was able to sustain herself for
a month. in the interim, she was also supported via phone
counselling when she encountered challenges at work.
she applied for other jobs on her own and initiated on
her own accord to be discharged from the centre after 6
months as she felt that she could manage on her own. at
our last outing, we understand that she was still working.

conditions and to provide practical advice. Audiences often provide feedback on
excellent speakers and relevance of the topics presented. Thanks to the support of
our speakers and participants, our public forums are generally well-attended.

BGGH has a maximum capacity of 36 clients. Figure 3
depicts the monthly occupancy rate as of last day of each
month for FY2012. It also illustrates the actual caseload
served for each month.
RECOVERy
A supportive and recovery-oriented rehabilitative
environment, with individualised care plans, can greatly
minimise hospitalisations. Through psycho-education,
clients are taught to recognise early signs of relapses and
medication management as they gain further insight into
their illness thus enhancing their coping skills. clients are
then more empowered as they regain confidence as well
as independence which foster social inclusion. The chart
below shows that in FY2012, there were a total of 10
hospitalisations (18.9% of the total caseload). It is also
observed that lesser relapses occurred in those who
have received longer periods of rehabilitation.

World Mental Health Day is a global mental health education campaign initiated by
the World Federation of Mental Health (WFMH). This special day is commemorated
on 10 October every year across the globe.
In 2012, SAMH celebrated World Mental Health Day with the theme “The Way
Forward − Weaving Community Safety Networks”. Reflecting the theme, SAMH
jointly organised the event with the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) and Agency for
Integrated Care (AIC). It was a fruitful collaboration between the 3 representative
agencies of hospital, step-down, and community care.

over the years, caseloads with male clients continue
to be higher, compared to female clients. while the
percentage of caseload of ethnic groups remained
relatively constant for the past 3 years (see Fig. 5), there
is a slight shift in our caseload of ethnic groups in females
in the past year.

SOCIO-RECREATIOnAl ACTIVITIES
psychosocial rehabilitation services at BGGH, which
provides purposeful socio-recreational activities,
introduce clients to a variety of community resources and
offer them opportunities to seamlessly blend into the
community. The following table highlights the activities
organised in FY2012.
dISCHARGE
In FY2012, 24 residents were discharged from BGGH with
67% discharged into the community (see Fig. 8). Most of
these clients were able to acquire their own one-room
rental flats within four to six months upon application to
HDB while some were reunited with family members or
have moved out to live in staff quarters provided by their
employers. The number of clients who were referred
back to the referral source is 7 in FY2012, consistent with
FY2011, but maintained a decrease from 11 in FY2010.

“For a long day out, such as shopping or an outing with friends and family, fuss-free
materials such as viscose can still look fresh and put together, even after hours of wear.”
Sisters Ruwaidah and Rosmawati Saini, started Hijab Studio,
an online boutique specialising in various types and styles
of hejab and YuniQ Creations, an online Muslimah fashion
boutique, to fulfill the needs of women who are looking for
edgy, fun and fashionable ways of wearing the hejab. “Hijab
Studio is all about being fashion forward without sacrificing
modesty and catering to the modern hejab wearing woman
who is educated, well-travelled and has eclectic tastes. The
younger generation is interested in hejab styles that aren’t
dowdy or old-fashioned and can be worn with clothes that you
can buy off regular high street brands and shopping centres.”
Says Rosmawati, “Although rather synonymous with the Arab
‘galabeyah’ and the Malay ‘baju kurung’ there’s no reason that
one cannot mix and match the hejab with regular clothes for as
long as it is done modestly.”

Brain
Ruwaidah, or better known as Aida, who is clearly the creative
think tank behind the businesses, says that selecting the right
fabric, length and even colour for your hejab depends on the
activity and weather for the day. She says hejab for outdoor or
indoor activities such as cycling or even yoga should be made
of materials that can breathe such as cotton and absorbent
materials such as cotton lycra. “It makes more sense for you
to keep the length of your hejab under two metres, so that
you can keep cool, especially in humid weather such as in
Singapore. For such activities, hejabs which are slip-ons are
preferred over fussy loose fabric needing twisting, knotting and
pinning.”
For work, where you’re most likely to find yourself in cooler, airconditioned environments, you would need something versatile
to take you between offices and restaurants for business
lunches. Woven cotton or georgette shawls make versatile
options for anything from three-piece power suits to traditional
‘kebaya’ and ‘baju kurung’ sometimes worn by Malay-Muslim
women on Fridays. “For a long day out, such as shopping or
an outing with friends and family, fuss-free materials such as
viscose can still look fresh and put together, even after hours of
wear.”
Ruwaidah elaborates, “For functions such as weddings,
product launch parties or dinners, the layering effect goes a
long way in creating an air of sophistication. Experimenting with
luxurious materials such as silk, chiffon or even lace or glitter
with tulle in all sorts of lengths and widths are recommended
for a more glamorous look.”
Jewellery can also be used to spruce up an evening outfit;
take a leaf out of our fashion spread where we have pinned
necklaces to the hejab instead of the usual brooches. Take
note to choose necklaces that are not too long; chokers and
collar pieces are definitely more suitable and practical than
longer lariat-type necklaces. While larger ornate pieces are
more striking and give your outfit a sense of movement, they
can also be heavy and weigh down your hejab, so unless you
are really good with securing your fabrics with pins, it’s best to
wear smaller, lightweight pieces for days when you have to be
on your feet a lot or going to meetings.
The Wedding Carriage
By NANNy ELIANA & CONAN GOH
Whether you prefer the vintage touch or to be whisked away in a luxury sedan
on your big day, every newlywed wants to make a memorable getaway.
W
And if you’re just too busy to change your outfit after a long day
at the office to see your relatives who have come to visit from
abroad for dinner, a change of hejab or even hejab accessory is
sometimes all you need for a change of look.
Our fashion spread this issue showcases the colours and cuts
on the catwalk with panache, Muslimah style. Colours are de
ri geur this season, particularly pink and orange in their various
permutations; you will find every shade in that spectrum from
fuschia to salmon and peach to cerise and even tangerine.
These shades also influence the yellows and purples on the
colour palette this season and you may still be able to spot the
rich cobalt or turquoise blues, a leftover from last year.
There are also plenty of large and small prints to play with;
you will find ethnic and abstract prints emerging while paisley
makes yet another comeback, joining the floral prints that have
been on the catwalk from last year. If you’re concerned about
wearing clashing prints, remember to pair a printed piece with
a neutral colour such as white, black or khaki or keep them in
multiple but very small doses such as on your shoes or bag, or
on the sleeves of your jacket.

settlers who moved to the Mississippi Valley. Evil spirits were
said to lurk at such happy events to cause a disturbance, so in
those days wedding guests made loud noises to ward them off;
some banged pots and pans, some sounded their horns, and
some tied cans to the bumper of the wedding car so that the
spirits don’t follow the newlyweds into their new life together.
The tradition of tying cans to the back bumper of the wedding
car is not just a kitschy trend of the hippie era as some would
think, but dates way back to the 1600s among early French
Perhaps bringing back some of these traditions with your
wedding vehicle of choice would make your wedding day more
memorable for you and your nearest and dearest.

Always check the budget
INTERIOR
“Apart from facilitating daily activities,
when used correctly, lighting can showcase
design elements such as colour and texture
and imbue a space with different moods.
You can also understate rather than
underline good design with poor lighting.”
Flowers can also make an intimate
event look expensive; if you do
not have the budget to decorate
your entire ballroom with your
favourite blossoms, then perhaps
it would be more sensible to
reserve them for the more intimate
solemnisation ceremony or that
wedding dinner for friends and
colleagues.
Before you decide for every corner of the ballroom and every
member of your family to wear the same blossoms as your
handheld bouquet, do a budget check. Labour makes a large
part of floral arrangement costs; blossoms need to be treated
and primed before they are arranged as part of the decor.
Flowers can also make an intimate event look expensive; if
you do not have the budget to decorate your entire ballroom

For best effect, it is better to focus all the blooms in a smaller
space rather than spreading them out.

Many might remember Malaque Mahdaly as one of the
final eight contestants in the last and final season of the
Singapore Idol. Syarif was then a promotions and advertising
intern with MediaCorp and was assisting with the running
of the Singapore Idol auditions and publicity activities for its
contestants. It was only a matter of time before the two of them
connected via Facebook and he invited her to see his shows.
They have been dating for over four years but it was not until
the last year that they thought about taking their relationship to
the next level.
“At first my mother was hesitant about accepting Syarif as a
son-in-law, because he is not from Arab descent and she had
insisted before that I marry an Arab. But Syarif has always been
very polite and a gentleman with her; in fact he didn’t propose
to me first, but sought my hand in marriage from my mother
and my stepfather,” Malaque beamed.
After training with cooking school Sunrice Global Chef
Academy in Singapore, the 24-year-old spent half a year in
Chicago, United States earlier this year, to practise and perfect
her craft in cake-making. Syarif had volunteered to accompany
Malaque's mother on her convocation as her stepfather was
unable to attend; this was a rare opportunity for the couple to
spend time together. They spent two weeks in Chicago and
New York, which Malaque said, “was best time we had ever
had together.” The Indonesian born Arab is now a proud owner
of a home-based online cake boutique, Gula by Malaque and
teaches belly dancing on the side. “My dream is to be able to
establish myself as a cake artiste and have a cooking school. I
have always liked to teach.”
The two will be tying the knot on the 22nd of November 2014
and Syarif, who was raised in Singapore by an Indonesian
father and an Indian mother, sees himself returning to
Singapore more frequently in the coming months to assist
Malaque with organising the wedding, which they are planning
on their own with the help of family and friends and without
engaging a wedding planner. He said, “I’m carving a niche for
myself and I’m sure there’s a way for us to be together even as
I get busier with projects in Kuala Lumpur. Malaque has always
been a pillar of support for me, and I also want to be the same
to her; hopefully my work will support her business and vice
versa.”
We wish the couple our warmest congratulations and the very
best for the future!
