Day 2 is here! Take a moment to stretch and breathe—it’s great for your well-being. Stay tuned for more at the Global Mental Health in Asia 2025 Symposium! #MentalHealth #GMHasia2025

This morning INSEAD campus, symposium participants from all across Asia (and the world) are diving in their topic of choice in interactive workshops led by local & regional experts. Covering everything from workplace to family—there’s something for everyone! #GMHasia2025

Studies on economic burden of mental health get attention—but they only highlight urgency, not solutions, said Duke-NUS Prof Eric Finkelstein. Key question: How do we show what works? It's not just about unmet needs but also identifying effective interventions. #GMHasia2025

Nur yanayirah emphasised the importance of a trusting, respectful relationship for effective mental health screening, especially when accessing support is challenging. Participants also stressed the need for a holistic care model. #GMHasia2025

Had an insightful site visit at the National Gallery today! We explored our feelings through cards, then picked two artworks that made us uncomfortable. Expressing those emotions in various creative forms was an eye-opening experience. #GMHasia2025 #ArtExploration

Day 3, the final day of #GMHasia2025! Kicking off with opening remarks by Global Mental Health lead @annestona. Climate change impacts more than we realise—today, we dive deeper. Stay tuned!

Sena made a powerful point in our panel: It’s not about building resilience—we are already resilient. It’s about being proactive, learning from the past, and implementing interventions that create real change. E.g training families as mental health responders. #GMHasia2025

The final panel highlights that not all health issues can be mitigated. Healthcare workers face immense mental stress, alongside crises like tropical cyclones & COVID-19. Leadership must be their voice—championing justice for them & the wider community. #GMHasia2025

At yesterday’s Climate & Mental Health workshop, Renzo Guinto & team introduced the Climate Emotion Wheel (credit: psychologist @RobertPlutchik) to help 100+ participants navigate climate emotions—anxiety, hope, grief & resilience. How does climate change make you feel today?
