Description

The Temasek Foundation Youth Connect Programme aims to provide early recognition and early intervention for distressed adolescents. This 4-year pilot programme is an initiative by KKH and the Temasek Foundation. One of the objectives of the programme is to build the capacity of school counsellors and community mental health practitioners to deliver evidence-based, psychological brief interventions from a process-based approach to augment the existing basic emotional support services. JCUS staff will develop the interventions and train the school counsellors and mental health workers (Dr Riard), evaluate the training (Dr Ng) and evaluate the clinical outcomes for the adolescents (Prof. Marsh).
