Topics surrounding the female vagina can cause embarrassment and discomfort to many young women. As a result, discussions about gynaecological topics can be challenging for them. Leading to a lack of knowledge related to vagina health and other gynaecological issues throughout the journey of womanhood. In Singapore, gynaecological wellness topics have not been included as part of the school educational curriculum. There is an insufficient open educational platform for young women to equip themselves with the knowledge to take charge of their gynaecological health.
Therefore, this project aims to design a range of educational materials for young females in Singapore to raise awareness of symptoms, detection and prevention methods of various intimate female hygiene and gynaecological issues. The project hopes to promote open conversations about gynaecological wellness in Singapore and provide accessible resources.
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.
In recent years, the world has been getting increasingly more aware of mental health issues. Besides therapy and consultations, there are more products created to support people with mental health issues, such as mindfulness journals, exercise guides, and even music playlists. However, the products are usually generalized. A self-care kit made specifically for me, i can’t even aims to retell the story of how my personal experience with mental health.
This project is intended to encourage the audience to learn about mental health and realize that people with mental health issues may have different mindsets and reactions to their situations. Through that, the audience is also encouraged to reflect on their own mental health and the way they cope with difficult days.
