Abstract
Speak Your Mind SG is an upstream health promotion campaign aimed at promoting greater awareness about optimal mental well-being amongst teachers in Singapore.
While work-related stress is an inevitable part of today’s contemporary and fast-paced world, some professions are thought to experience greater levels of stress, and hence higher vulnerability to poor mental well-being. The teaching profession has been identified as one such profession.
Targeted at pre- and in-service teachers, the campaign was conceptualized to educate teachers on ways to optimize their mental well-being using the Health Promotion Board’s five components of mental well-being. Through a three-stage approach – communicate, educate and initiate – it aimed to create a work environment with strong peer-to-peer systems where teachers could find support and encouragement when faced with work challenges.
This report contains primary and secondary research detailing the state of mental well-being amongst Singapore teachers. It explains the frameworks guiding campaign strategies, tactics and execution. It discusses risks and assumptions involved, and directions for future research. Original documents, collaterals and diagrams are included in the appendices.
