What does art have to do with mental heath? As research shows, a lot!

The pandemic has taken a toll on our seniors' mental wellbeing.

Our Moulmein - Cairnhill Mental Health Task Force (opens in new tab) (or MoCa Minds), in partnership with thirtytwocm (opens in new tab), has launched 'Our House Downstairs' weekly art jamming sessions on Wednesdays to look after our seniors' mental wellbeing.

We've created a safe space for our seniors to drop by, make new friends or connect with old ones, keep their minds active, engaged and creative through art sessions.

Know someone who can benefit from this? Ping us at hello@moca.sg (opens in new tab) and we'll update as soon as there are available slots!
