We are excited to announce a virtual talk on “Understanding Transgender Mental Health” with our guest speaker, June Chua. As a mental health advocate and founder of The T Project, a Singapore-based non-profit organisation that provides support for the transgender community, June has extensive experience working with transgender individuals and understanding their unique mental health needs.
This talk is designed for mental health practitioners who want to better serve the transgender community. June will discuss the difference between LGBT-friendly therapists and transgender-affirming therapists, and why it is important for therapists to be aware of this difference in order to provide effective and compassionate care for transgender clients. She will also share her personal experience as a transgender person and how it has shaped her advocacy work.
The event will be held on Google Meet and the link will be sent to attendees an hour before the stated time. To RSVP, please email [email protected]. We kindly ask for a donation for the tickets, and all proceeds will be given to the volunteer speaker(s).
Priority will be given to active members of A Space Between, but we welcome non-members who are interested in attending this event, subject to approval. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable insight into transgender mental health and enhance your professional skills in this area. We look forward to seeing you there!
At A Space Between, we believe in fostering a culture of respect and kindness, not just within our therapeutic community but in all aspects of life. Recently, we`ve noticed instances where our valued staff have been treated less than kindly.
Respect isn`t just about following rules; it`s about acknowledging the humanity and dignity of every individual. When we treat service staff with kindness and appreciation, we contribute to their well-being and mental health. Remember, every interaction we have leaves an impact, and choosing respect can make a world of difference.
Respecting service staff isn`t just about them; it`s also about us. Practising empathy and understanding towards others` experiences enhances our own mental well-being. It creates a ripple effect of positivity that extends beyond our immediate interactions.
Respecting boundaries isn`t just about physical space; it`s about honouring emotional boundaries too. By respecting the boundaries of service staff, we contribute to a healthier and more harmonious environment for everyone.

🎨 Embrace Creativity with Your Little Ones! 🎨
This Mother`s Day, let`s celebrate the power of art therapy. Engage in quiet, quirky activities that nurture your bond with your children while providing a therapeutic outlet for self-expression and stress relief.
👩👧👦 Activity Ideas:
1. Collaborative Masterpiece: Create a shared artwork with your children, taking turns adding elements and colours to a collective canvas. Let your imaginations soar as you collaborate on a beautiful masterpiece together.
2. Nature-Inspired Art: Head outdoors for a nature walk and gather natural materials like leaves, flowers, and pebbles. Use these found treasures to create intricate nature collages or vibrant leaf rubbings, connecting with the beauty of the natural world.
3. Emotion Drawings: Encourage open dialogue with your children by expressing emotions through art. Ask them to draw how they`re feeling using colours and shapes, and share your own emotions through creative expression. It`s a wonderful way to foster emotional awareness and communication.
4. Mindful Colouring: Set aside quiet time for mindful colouring sessions with your children. Print out intricate mandalas or calming nature scenes and colour them together, focusing on the present moment and enjoying the meditative benefits of art therapy.
5. Family Vision Board: Create a vision board as a family, filled with hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the future. Cut out pictures from magazines or print images from the internet that represent your family`s goals and aspirations, fostering a sense of unity and purpose.
🌺💫 Let`s nurture our creativity, strengthen our bonds, and find joy in the art of self-expression this Mother`s Day.
Share your art therapy adventures with us using #ASBCreativeMotherhood.
Together, let`s celebrate the beauty of motherhood and the healing power of art.
