Friendship And Mind Enrichment (FAME) Club
Our Philosophy
At FAME Club, we firmly believe that unless we integrate persons with mental health issues back into the community in a safe and assured manner, all the good rehabilitation work and progress achieved in the earlier stages will be ineffectual.
Our Vision
To be a centre that brings back hope, builds confidence and nurtures mental wellness thereby empowering people of diverse intellectual capabilities to make useful contributions to society.
Our Mission
To bridge the gaps between the community and our members through holistic mind enrichment using innovative solutions.
Our Distinctiveness
We place a premium on and provide ample opportunities for those with special needs to interact with people of diverse background and social standings. This leads to a broaden social circle and community acceptance forging of friendships through sharing of concerns, hopes and aspirations.
We bring about mind enrichment by engaging the individuals in structured programmes that promote physical and mental health. We empower them by creating opportunities for them to learn or re-learn life skills.
We have a team of caring staff dedicated to teaching, guiding, counselling, motivating, and fostering greater personal independence.
Our Activities
We conduct a series of activities that includes psychoeducation, socialization, morning exercises and life skill lessons to engage our participants meaningfully.
