Every Mind Matters Programme (EMMP)
The Every Mind Matters Programme (EMMP) started in 2001 as a partnership with the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), where our trained volunteers engage and befriend rehabilitating patients to help them reintegrate into society with renewed social and mental well-being. EMMP evolved through the years, and today, it is a vital initiative that extends the care continuum to special needs adults in community settings, including adults with Autism, Dementia, Down Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, and other disabilities.
Through weekly engagement sessions, RSVP’s trained senior volunteers provide companionship and assistance to beneficiaries aged 18 to 80. These sessions focus on fostering mental, emotional, and social well-being, helping individuals build confidence and independence as they navigate daily life. Volunteers play a critical role in designing and delivering personalised and creative activities, such as motor skills exercises and life skills coaching, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
We equip our volunteers with comprehensive training to ensure they are well-prepared to address the challenges faced by beneficiaries. By empowering volunteers to co-create meaningful solutions, EMMP provides a supportive framework that bridges gaps in care and promotes inclusivity in the community.
