Social Media and Mental Health

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we have an innate need for connection and approval from others. Often, we make an effort to gain validation and this is natural. Yet, in our world today, this need for others’ approval becomes magnified; as many of us are constantly plugged in on social media, we tend to get caught up in the pursuit of “likes”, “shares”, “follows” & engagement. These can have implications on our mental well-being and happiness. Through this issue, I hope that we can be more aware of the impacts & risks associated with excessive use of social media, and what we can do about it so that we can live out our best lives.

Wil-son Lee. Dynamic Group. Manulife Financial Advisers

I finally had a face to face meet up for a training conducted by Joan. For the past two years, I was exploring how to use the HQ system by myself and with the support by Joan & team. Joan is ever cheerful and has been prompt in helping me via WhatsApp. Addressing the technical issues I faced using the system and how I could utilise many of the functions HQ provides. Till date, HQ has enhanced features which helps me with servicing my clients. I have referred friends who found HQ fascinating and consider getting this system to help in their course of work. Will continue to refer others too. Appreciate the HQ team and special thanks to Joan!
