What our participants say

“Tapestry programmes allow me to understand the fragile side of me and how do I manage it. It also teaches me that writing down what I felt is not to remind me of my pain but to constantly remind that “I’ve been through and is now someone stronger or better”. Of course, not to make same mistake again. Tapestry is not the end of journalling down my mental health of journalling but a kick start of journalling for the rest of my life. Living my life to the fullest. On behalf of JS2101B, a big thank you Nicole and team.”

— Mason Ong (Fabian)

“To be honest , it is fun to know about journalling as it is my first-time doing journalling and what I have learnt about this program is I have learnt how to cope with your problems by sketching up your own feelings in your journal and try to cope with it. What are some of the learning points that I know, there is a wider perspective on journalling, and it is helpful to learnt new concept.”
