FWA Brown Bag - Female Emotional Wellness
Registrations start from 11.30 am. The talk starts promptly at 12.00 pm and ends at 1.00 pm. Light refreshments, kindly sponsored by HSBC, will be available after the talk.
Physical wellness has long been the focus of our modern society, and in particular, in Singapore, where the health has long been a priority for both the government and its residents. In today’s high stress world however, more and more emphasis has to be put on emotional wellness, particularly in women, whose roles both at home and at work usually take its toll – not to mention, compounded by societal expectations.
Women worldwide have almost twice the rates of anxiety and depression as men, and women in Singapore are no exception. Find out from Dr. Cornelia Chee the possible reasons why women’s emotional health are an issue, and more importantly, how to recognise it in your own life and among your peers. Are you just having a bad day, or is this a case of serious blues?
