Hopes & Dreams:
An Art Therapy Workshop for Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs)
We recently spent a meaningful afternoon with Aidha’s Alumna Leaders and Volunteers - the Volunteer Campus Associates (VCAs), Big Sisters and Ambassadors. These women are migrant domestic workers (MDWs) who spend their Sundays at Aidha, supporting the education journeys of other MDWs.
The afternoon was about dedicating time to check in with their own selves, and reflect their journey and aspirations as a community. Through material exploration and creative expression, we facilitated a workshop that gave form to their hopes and dreams.

The Anatomy of Care:
Awakening Interoception through the Wisdom of Nature
Our team had the wonderful opportunity to work alongside Phylaine, a fellow senior art psychotherapist, in facilitating an art-based reflective workshop with the emerging team at Eastern General Hospital on 24th October 2026. It was inspiring to see how creativity and reflection can open new ways of seeing, listening, and caring. Arts definitely has a place amidst medical health care and we are excited to see how the community will develop a new model of care.
Sending thanks to the leadership and administrative team at SingHealth Duke-NUS Medical Humanities (SDMHI), the Eastern General Hospital’s retreat organising team, as well as Phylaine for inviting us to the retreat and allowing us to witness the impact that human-centredness and art can have in medicine.
