At IMH, volunteers spend time conversing, encouraging and befriending our inpatients so that they have social contact with others besides their regular care team and family members. Volunteers are also an important source of support for many of our patients.
Our volunteers organise activities and workshops, celebrate patients' birthdays, bring festive cheer to them during the holidays, and take them for outings to places of interest. Each visit by the volunteers brings joy and memorable moments to our patients. Beyond the recreational and enrichment activities, volunteers are also our greatest advocates in destigmatising mental illness.
Most recently, the setting up of Mindful Meadows, a community garden by IMH and Jalan Kayu (Ang Mo Kio GRC) allows our volunteers and patients to work hand in hand to build and nurture a green space that encourages mindful exploration of our physical and mental lives.
