🤔 Are we talking about the realities of parenthood enough? As heartwarming and amazing this experience is, it can also be exhausting and mentally draining 😵💫 That’s why when Cassandra Loh, our VP, Partnerships and Solutions, was pursing her post-graduate diploma in counselling psychology, she provided pro-bono counselling to mothers because she thought they were very underserved in this aspect. “Sometimes, what they need is for someone to hear them out or to provide perspectives to help them move along from where they are stuck,” Cassandra shared in an article with The Singapore Women's Weekly. But the work doesn’t just stop there. Intellect has partnered with the largest private hospital group, IHH HEALTHCARE SINGAPORE, to provide one year of Intellect access to all mothers who are discharged from any of the four hospitals in the group. We have content curated for mothers and trained professionals who can provide support for mums.
