A Message From
Dr Cheong Choong Kong
Chairman, Frasers Centrepoint Trust
Chairman, Mind Science Centre
The Mind Science Centre has a mission to build mental resilience among Singaporeans, through research, education, and most importantly through interventionist programmes that directly benefit the community. It is our hope that MSC’s initiatives such as the Age Well Everyday (AWE) programme and Dementia Asia can start a popular national movement that impacts great numbers of seniors. Seniors, myself included, should be able to grow old with equanimity, minus the fear that we may live our final years lonely, depressed, demented, or worse.
There is now a growing urgency for innovative strategies to combat the rising rate of psychological problems and dementia in Singapore and Asia due to a fast-paced lifestyle and an ageing population. In response, MSC promotes the use of non-drug, psychosocial interventions to build the mental resilience of the community from adolescents to the elderly.

Welcome to the Mind Science Centre (MSC), a centre of excellence under the National University Health System (NUHS) and NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Department of Psychological Medicine.
There is now a growing urgency for innovative strategies to combat the rising rate of psychological problems, brought forward by the ageing population and the ever-changing economical and social landscape post-pandemic. In response, MSC promotes translational research on non-drug, psychosocial interventions to build the mental resilience of the community across all ages, from adolescents to the elderly.

There can be no health without mental health. Mind Science Centre initiated Asia’s first study on dementia and depression prevention from community-based interventions. As we move forward, we plan to continue looking into how people can be empowered to take charge of their ageing process with resilience and perseverance.

Today we had the honour of hosting 22 students from NUS High School of Mathematics & Science to join us at the 🖌 Mind Art Experiential Lab (MAELab) 🖌 located at Alexandra Hospital for a speculative design workshop titled “Design your Future” by visual artist and technologist Debbie Ding.
Utilising prompts from the game “THE THING FROM THE FUTURE” and design thinking methodology, Debbie guides the participants to think of and prototype their vision of the future. This workshop aims to foster a safe and playful environment for youths to explore future scenarios that are grounded in observations of the world, expanded through creativity and imagination.
After prototyping, students were invited to do a show-and-tell session, presenting their unique future story and showcasing a mock-up product that will solve the problem faced in the scenario.
