Improving the Mental Health and Wellbeing of the Community Design4Impact brings together like-minded individuals and groups to design for solutions in a world that's changed by Covid-19

What is Design4Impact?
Design4Impact (D4I) is an open innovation platform that brings together like-minded, public-spirited groups and individuals to address some of the biggest health and social challenges encountered during the Covid-19 pandemic. Design4Impact sets the stage for the design of solutions to mitigate the negative impact faced by vulnerable groups in Singapore, during and beyond the pandemic.

The second edition of D4I will be launched in October 2021.

What Can We Do?
There are three challenge statements for teams to develop innovative ideas and co-create sustainable community-owned solutions.
#1 How can we meet the mental health & wellbeing needs of seniors?
#2 How can we empower caregivers with the skills and resources to improve their mental health & wellbeing
#3 How can we facilitate youths' help-seeking behaviour for mental health & wellbeing?

As part of D4I2 all participants will attend industry-led design thinking workshops with pedagogy and training jointly developed by the NUS Institute of Systems Science (NUS-ISS) and DesignSingapore Council School of X (Dsg SoX); an opportunity to pitch their ideas to attain seed funding; and be guided and championed by sector developers to implement their winning solutions in the community.

D4I2 will see community providers, grassroots organisations, social service agencies, caregivers, residents, public service officers, corporate volunteers and persons with lived experience coming together to co-design implementable and sustainable solutions to help Singaporeans thrive during and beyond Covid-19.

This event is organised by MOH Office for Healthcare Transformation, National Council of Social Service, DesignSingapore Council, NUS Institue of Systems Science
