Study on youth mental wellness by students from WPI

Weโ€™re Team Perspective, a group of 5 studentsโ€”Emma, Nico, Hrithika, Adel, Drewโ€”from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts conducting a research project in Singapore. Our project explores how digital and art-based approaches can help support youth mental wellness in Singapore. Specifically, we aim to understand how college-aged students perceive these methods and how they might be integrated into existing programs.

Through this research, we hope to contribute insights that can help refine and expand the National Gallery Singaporeโ€™s stART program, which also focuses on using art for mental wellness.

Please take a few minutes to fill out our survey!
