Compassion is a combination of empathy and action, where we strive to understand and feel what others are experiencing and then do something to alleviate their pain and suffering.

As human beings, compassion is a fundamental quality that helps us connect with others in a deep and meaningful way.

Louis is the founder of 2 educational start-ups, and realised during the past year, about how he might need some professional support and help, in taking care and maintaining his mental health.

We had a candid conversation about perspectives on mental health and wellbeing, and how it is helpful and beneficial to seek help/support even before we might truly need it. Hearing from Louis, and having him share his experiences and his awareness of self and his being, I am so encouraged and heartened, and I do hope that you too will have similar courage to reach out and ask for help and support. And even if it is not seeking counselling or therapy, perhaps start taking on active responsibility to care for your own mental health and overall wellbeing.

Join us in this conversation, and let us know what your thoughts might be!

Amy lived with schizophrenia for a large part of her life.

Before her diagnosis, it was hard for her and her family to understand what was actually happening. Part of it wondering if it was a spiritual possession, and the other part of it wondering if she was crazy.

After her diagnosis, and gaining more awareness of her mental health condition, Amy gained steady improvements in her mental health. There are still good moments and bad moments and many moments of uncertainty.

Through the learning and practice of Chinese Metaphysics such as Qimen Dunjia and Bazi, the journey supported her in gaining greater self awareness and she is better able to manage her thoughts and her emotions and regulate her behaviours, actions and habits.

Join us in our conversation, and allow yourself to understand a little bit more about her experience living with schizophrenia.

"Whee" has been living with depression for about half her life. It was just before the COVID-19 pandemic, that she got a diagnosis for dysthymia (persistent depressive disorder).  It is an amazing conversation, to learn more about her journey, and to listen to her dreams and hopes on how the mental health awareness journey can move forward for all of us.

After a bit of consideration, and asking for permission, we decided to have one last round of Ramadan Conversations.

Grateful to the support of our Muslim friends : Afzal Hadi and Imran Tahir, for saying "yes", to sharing and reflecting together, about their journey through the Ramadan, pre, during and post-pandemic.

It will be a nice conclusion over 3 years, and thus, we chose to host these "live" sessions on FaceBook, YouTube and LinkedIn in the last week of this year's Ramadan.

Will be delighted if you can join us, during these last 2 sessions, to reminisce, reflect and move forward in being more human, kind and compassionate, towards self and others
