Singapore’s population is rapidly aging, which puts both the elderly and adults at a higher risk of developing diseases, dementia, and experiencing advanced aging prior to death. Despite this trend, many people hesitate to plan for their future healthcare options in the event they are unable to make decisions for themselves due to the taboo nature of the topic.
Therefore, this project aims to design an Advanced Care Planning (ACP) starter kit that enables Singaporeans to have easy and lighthearted conversations with their loved ones about their future care preferences and correct any misconceptions regarding ACP.
With an increasing awareness of mental health on issues such as depression and anxiety, anger and aggression is a mental health condition that is receiving much less limelight. Research has shown that excessive and uncontrollable anger can contribute to violence and have many negative effects on our everyday relationship with others and with the society.
Through interviews with psychologist from Club Heal, a voluntary welfare organisation, and surveying young people about their thoughts on everyday anger, this project aims to highlight anger as a concern of mental health issue. Illustrating the various anger management strategies, it is hoped that these tools can assist users in learning and practicing these strategies on their own, when dealing with everyday heated situations.
