Like many people, Singaporean Enchen Quek faced mental health challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic. She was getting professional help at the time, but when she came across a programme called Re:Story on Instagram, she signed up for a workshop out of curiosity.

Re:Story uses expressive writing and narrative therapy – a way of empowering people to explore and reshape their life stories, particularly those overwhelmed by challenges and emotional distress.

This helps participants who are dealing with anxiety, stress and other mental health challenges develop resilience and self-care skills and deepen their connection with themselves.

Singapore charity The Tapestry Project SG runs this programme, one of several that enables mental health education through “person-first” stories. It was developed with input from psychologists, educators and social workers.
