Leong Jern-Yi Deputy Chief,
Department of Community Psychiatry, Institute of Mental Health (IMH)
Psychiatry in Singapore has moved out
of the asylum era of custodial care into the community where real
recovery is possible. , The formation of the Department of Community
Psychiatry in the Singapore state mental hospital — the Institute
of Mental Health (IMH) in 2004 and the 15‘ Singapore Mental Health
Blueprint 2007-2012 mapped out the shift toward more community based
programs. Public funding lend to even more growth of the People
Sector where many non-government organizations (NGOs) thrive and
grow. The private sectors also became involved with more social
enterprises being encouraged. Another exciting development is the
growth of the Peer Recovery Movement followed by the Certified Peer
Specialist Course in 2012 at the Singapore Association for Mental
Health (SAMH) and also the founding of the Caregiver’s Alliance
(CAL) C2C Caregiver—to- Caregiver 12 session program and also the
Certified Caregiver Support Specialist training. This presentation
will give a broad overview of the many dynamic partnerships and
collaborations between the Public (government), People
(NGOs) and Private (Businesses) sectors with examples of various
organization and agencies in Singapore.
