SINGAPORE - President Halimah Yacob on Thursday urged more employers to step up and offer"quality jobs" to those with mental health issues.
She was speaking during a visit to Job Club, a branch of the Institute of Mental Health's occupational therapy department, which helps those with mental health issues return to the workforce, thereby aiding in their recovery process. Besides employers, though, co-workers also played a critical role in helping those with mental health problems.
Mr Jeffery Tan, director of Jardine Cycle & Carriage and Mindset Care Limited, echoed the President's view. Mindset is a charity organisation that sources for job opportunities for recovering mental health patients. "Sometimes we think entry-level jobs are the only way for them to join the workforce again," he said.
