Founded by Nicole K. in 2014, The Tapestry Project SG is a registered charity that champions mental health education and empowerment through person-first stories and narrative programmes.

By sharing authentic narratives, we wish to inspire hope and challenge mindsets associated with mental health and recovery, and for people to see beyond the mental health statistics and recognise that behind every statistic is a real person with a story to tell. Through the experience of storying and sharing, persons also experience healing and connectedness with others.

If you are:

• someone who has experienced mental health challenges,
• a family member or caregiver,
• a healthcare professional,
• a friend, colleague or neighbour, or
• a person who wants to create a more inclusive, empathetic society

— our stories are for you.

We are all about storying for better wellbeing. Come share your story and be part of our tapestry of narratives woven together by the common thread of hope.

Our Vision

A stronger social fabric woven through storying.

Our Mission

We weave together a tapestry of authentic narratives, hope and connection, to strengthen mental wellbeing.

Our Work

The “Tapestry” Metaphor

A tapestry is a form of textile art often depicting narratives of people and places.

Like a tapestry, mental health and wellbeing are multifaceted and complex, influenced by various interconnected factors. Just as a tapestry is created by weaving together different threads, mental health and wellbeing are shaped by a combination of physical, emotional, psychological, social, and environmental factors.

Each thread in a tapestry represents a person’s unique and personal journey with mental health. We interweave diverse perspectives to increase mental health literacy, bring awareness to community resources and promote early help-seeking. Our story “threads” create authentic connections and present a more holistic and nuanced perspective of mental health. This in turn supports and strengthens those around, creating a tapestry that represents hope and inclusion.
