Hands-on at the SAMH Youth Alive festival with over 25 community partners, about 500 visitors and Guest of Honour Member of Parliament Alvin Tan! On 16 November 2024, we joined the SAMH annual youth event - a celebration of creativity, mental health awareness, and community connections organised by the Singapore Association of Mental Health (SAMH). During the festival, we showcased how we repurpose school uniforms into useful items for learning and teaching and highlighted that our work is much more than only repurposing: it is about inspiring youth and lifelong learnings to adopt sustainable habits while giving a second life to materials that would otherwise go to waste. MP Alvin Tan visited our booth and we engaged him in a hands-on sustainability activity: he sewed button eyes on our mascot owl plushie, made of pre-loved school uniforms. Without doubt: we all need a clear vision and plan to create a sustainable future. The SAMH Youth Alive 2024 festival was a powerful reminder that mental health and sustainability go hand in hand. When we care for the planet, we create healthier, more supportive environments for ourselves and future generations. Grateful to SAMH for our ongoing collaboration as we aim to enage clients from SAMH into our work and offer green job opportunities.
