The session went overtime (that’s how inspiring it was!) as they explored executive function, emotional regulation, and practical ways to support neurodiverse learners through Universal Design and empathy-driven teaching.

Here’s to building spaces where every learner belongs 💜

💔 Bullying is more than misbehavior – it’s a mental health crisis.

In her feature with Tamil Murasu, Dr Buvana our Senior Consultant Psychiatrist, shares how bullying can scar young lives:
⚠️ Heightened anxiety and depression
⚠️ Fear, alienation and withdrawal from school
⚠️ Aggression, self-harm or even suicidal thoughts in extreme cases

Her reminder is powerful – stopping bullying is not just about discipline. It’s about protecting our children’s mental health, building compassion, and creating safe spaces where they can thrive. 💜

Let’s stand together to break the cycle.

💡 Equipping Educators at NUS

On 26 August, our Neurodiversity Coach Mavis McAllister partnered with NUS's Student Accessibility Unit to lead a powerful workshop for professors and student affairs leaders.

Together, we broke down how to better support neurodiverse learners – from the classroom syllabus to group projects, participation, communication and conflict resolution. Using the Double Empathy framework, Mavis showed how bridging understanding between educators and students fosters trust, inclusion and engagement. 💜

The room was buzzing with thoughtful questions, honest reflections and a strong commitment to building more inclusive spaces for learning. 🌟

may never go offline, never judge, and never leak secrets - but as our Principal Psychologist June Fong reminds us, emotional entanglements still need a human touch to resolve.

In her Lianhe Zaobao 联合早报 commentary, June highlights the limits of AI chatbots. While they can provide convenience and short-term comfort, they cannot replicate the , depth, and guidance of a therapist.

💬 “AI will not be able to prod or challenge or guide one, or even asking the right questions a therapist can. In navigating dynamic or complex human relationships, without sufficient contextual information, it simply will not be able to make a logical judgment.” ~ June Fong, Principal Psychologist

Promises Healthcare believe can support care, but true healing and transformation only happen through authentic human connection.
