What is CREST-Youth?

CREST-Youth is a dedicated community mental health network designed for youths aged 12 to 25 and their parents or caregivers. We serve as a vital connection, linking young individuals and their families to the right health and social support networks.

In partnership with the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), CARE Singapore offers CREST-Youth services primarily in the East regions of Pasir Ris, Tampines, and Bedok, while also extending support nationwide.


How do we HELP?

The key objectives of CREST are to:

  • Increase public awareness of mental health by organising outreach events to provide mental health information and education to residents and their caregivers in the region.
  • Promote the recognition of early signs and symptoms of mental conditions.
  • Provide basic emotional support and mental health information, service linkage and follow-up with clients and caregivers.
  • Promote active ageing and social connectivity by providing preventive care on physical and mental health opportunities to participate in physical and cognitive activities.
  • Network, engage and coordinate mental health education for community partners.

Partnering with CREST-Youth

Assembly Talks/Group Workshops

Aimed at increasing awareness of mental health, these engaging sessions aim to share with students about the importance of mental well-being, the challenges associated with mental health issues, and effective strategies for managing stress and anxiety. Our goal is to empower young people to understand their needs, and seek help when needed.

Sharing Circles

The sharing circle is focused on mental health awareness, including valuable tools and mental health screenings if required. These sessions offers a safe space for group activities, discussions and personal sharing, aimed at empowering participants with effective strategies for managing stress and fostering resilience. These circles cultivate a supportive community where everyone's journey is valued and supported.

Personalised Support

Through personalised support, individuals can access tailored guidance and interventions such as basic emotional support or group activities that promote confidence, resilience, and success.
