Orego

💙 Helping You Support Others with Mental Health & Special Needs
🎓 Expert-Led Live Workshops & e-Courses for Parents, Educators & Caregivers

The DNA for the Company was identified some time before we settled on the name of the company – we wanted a purpose to anchor what we are doing. Without this all-important desire, we will not have started at all. We want to maximise the potential of the lives of those people who come to us by being the place where people can come to learn and grow to be a better person or to be better in what they

do. Through education, training and other forms of services, we hope to equip them with knowledge and skills to better able to dealing with life and family challenges, and to be more effective and productive at work.

‘Orego’, the name chosen to be our Company name, aptly reflects our belief. Orego is the Greek word for ‘aspire’. It means to ‘eagerly desire to accomplish some goal or purpose; to strive to attain, to aspire to, to eagerly long for’. We want to impart to people a sense of being Restored, Encouraged and Enabled.

Ever feel like a child's intense focus on a particular 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 is pulling them away from what "𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱" matter?
As professionals and caregivers, our instinct might be to redirect, but what if that very passion holds the key to unlocking their potential, especially for individuals with Autism? It's time we reframe these deep dives not as distractions, but as powerful doorways to learning. That unwavering focus on trains, dinosaurs, or art is a wellspring of motivation, a direct line to engagement just waiting to be tapped.

The challenge then becomes using that passion as a teaching tool. A fascination with trains can become a hands-on lesson in counting and physics; a love for dinosaurs can spark an exploration of history and classification. By creatively weaving their interests into everyday learning, we build a bridge of understanding and make education more effective and joyful. What unique passion have you witnessed? Share it in the comments below and let's celebrate the incredible power of special interests!

Sometimes we think that if we don't talk about our childhood, it won't affect us. But the truth is—what’s unspoken often finds other ways to surface. Unresolved childhood trauma can show up in how we react, how we form relationships, and even in our physical health. You might not have words for it, but your body remembers.

It’s okay if you’ve stayed silent for a long time. Awareness is already a brave first step.

💭 If this speaks to you, you’re not alone. Let’s keep learning, healing, and supporting each other.

Have you ever noticed patterns in your reactions—or your parenting—that seem bigger than just your own experience?

This post explores intergenerational trauma: the emotional pain and stress that can be passed from one generation to the next. Often, it’s not spoken about. It’s not in the stories we’re told—it’s in the silences, in the way we respond to stress, in how we attach, and in how we protect ourselves.

Many of us carry inherited wounds without realizing it. What happened to our parents or grandparents might shape how we show up in relationships, how we raise our children, and how we cope with uncertainty. This isn’t about blame—it’s about awareness. Because when we understand the past, we can begin to choose differently for the future.

💬 If this resonates with you, know that you’re not alone. Healing is possible.

Last week, Orego participated in the Christian Mental Health Conference held in Singapore. It was a meaningful opportunity for us to connect with like-minded organisations and individuals passionate about emotional well-being and spiritual care.

At our booth, we invited attendees to engage in a reflective activity we called the Tree of Hope — a space where individuals could write down their hopes, prayers, or emotions on leaf-shaped cards and place them on the tree. The result was a moving display of shared vulnerability, healing, and collective intention.

We’re grateful for every person who stopped by to connect, share, and reflect. Mental health is not just a clinical concern — it’s also deeply human and relational.
🌱 Let’s continue the conversation and keep building spaces of hope together.

You might not realize it, but trauma can leave a mark—not just on your mind but on your genes too. Through epigenetics, experiences like stress or trauma can change how genes behave. And those changes? They can be passed down to the next generation—affecting stress responses, immunity, and even mental health 💭

For instance, a paper explains how trauma can lead to epigenetic modifications that might be inherited by children—even if they never experienced the trauma directly https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6127768/

👉 That means some of the emotional patterns we carry could come from our parents—or even grandparents.

But here’s the hopeful part: these epigenetic changes aren’t set in stone. With awareness, therapy, and trauma-informed care, we can begin to rewrite the narrative.

Have you ever heard that trauma can actually weaken your immune system?

I didn’t realize how deeply connected our emotions and our health were until I learned this.

When someone goes through trauma—especially for a long time—their body stays in “survival mode.” That constant stress can cause chronic inflammation, which quietly wears down the immune system. It’s why some people seem to get sick more often, feel constantly drained, or struggle to recover fully… and they might not even connect it to their past.

This reminded me that healing trauma isn’t just about talking—it’s also about caring for the body.

If you’re supporting someone through trauma, or healing from your own, this is something everyone should know.

Some children seem distracted in class, forget instructions, or can't sit still for long. At first glance, it may look like they’re not trying hard enough—but what if their brains are just doing the best to survive? For many children who’ve experienced trauma, focus isn’t just a skill to develop—it’s a challenge shaped by an overactive nervous system, emotional flashbacks, or a constant sense of danger. Their minds aren’t on the task because it’s still holding onto pain that hasn’t been given space to heal.

When we understand this, we stop asking, “What’s wrong with this child?” and start asking, “What happened to this child?” Trauma can live in the body and mind long after the experience has passed. Distraction isn’t disobedience—it’s often a sign that safety, connection, and healing are needed first. Let’s shift the way we see children struggling with attention. They’re not broken—they’re overwhelmed.

Sometimes, trauma doesn’t just leave scars—it leaves questions.
Questions like “Who am I really?” or “Why do I feel so disconnected from myself?” These aren’t dramatic thoughts. They’re real signs that your body and mind have been through something too big, too overwhelming, to process all at once.

When someone says “I can’t trust myself” or “I feel so alone,” it’s not weakness—it’s an imprint of survival. Trauma teaches us to disconnect, to stay small, to doubt what we feel. But healing is possible. And it starts with understanding why we feel this way.

If this speaks to you or someone you love, know you’re not alone.
