  • A Melting Pot special tribute to Singapore Mental Health Film Festival(SMHFF) Abel Peh

    Abel is the Programmes Manager at the Singapore Mental Health Film Festival. He strives to use his training in social work and sociology to curate thought-provoking conversations that could inspire action. He advocates for a multi-faceted approach when understanding social issues - including adopting a questioning mind where we challenge conventional structures, in hope for positive change.

     

     He strongly believes that the understanding of mental health issues must go beyond the individual, to appreciating how it is highly intertwined with and implicated by larger socio-cultural and political institutions. 

     

    In his free time, Abel enjoys catching sunsets. He lives by the quote, "beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies"
