Hello, We Are ResiL!ence
ResiL!ence is the youth mental health service of SHINE and we provide a range of programmes for youths aged 12 and 25 years with mental health needs.
What’s in the name?
ResiL!ence, is a misspelled form of resilience and silence with an “!” to
-
draw attention to the unspoken challenges of youth mental health,
-
highlight the underrated strengths of youths in adversity, and
-
encourage meaningful actions such as
-
Lighting up conversations about youth mental health,
-
Improving mental health literacy among youths and caregivers,
-
Curating a line-up of outreach, engagement and mental resilience building activities,
-
Linking youths to resources, supports and services to lighten the burden of youth mental health.
Confidentiality and Parental Involvement
All of our mental health professionals are bound by confidentiality unless the youth is at immediate risk of harm to yourself or others.
No identifiable personal data or records will be shared with government agencies.
Youths aged 14 and above do not require parental consent when assessing our services.
We recognise the importance of caregivers’ involvement in improving the wellbeing of youths and will work at their pace to have the caregivers play a meaningful part in supporting their child. Caregiver involvement is encouraged but not required to assess our services.
Activities and Services
The range of services aimed at promoting youth mental health include:
