Counselling and Student Welfare Support
Mental Wellness in Serangoon Secondary School is about providing our students with a safe space to share their challenges and work through their social, emotional, behavioural and mental health issues. We strive to empower our students towards positive help-seeking behaviours to improve their mental well-being.
Positive help-seeking behaviours demonstrate the courage and strength to seek ways to understand oneself better, to get support for help to make things better and take a step towards improving our well-being and happiness.
Our Counselling and Student Welfare (CSW) Team is here to support you in your journey of self-discovery!

Tips for self-help:
Having a set of healthy coping skills is key to getting through those difficult times. It helps you to tolerate and deal with stressful situations with a clearer mind, and to make better informed decisions.
