Are you a mummy or daddy caring for a child with a chronic life-threatening illness?

Download NeW-I, an app designed to provide emotional and psychological support to mothers and fathers whose child has been diagnosed with chronic life-threatening illness. Harness the power of narrative writing and online counseling as you enhance your quality of life, spiritual well-being, sense of hope and sense of social support.

- Participate in a 15-30 minute writing session once a week for 4 consecutive weeks, and a voice call with the online therapist in week 5
- Reflect on your experience of caregiving, acknowledge the pillars of support in your family, navigate the healthcare and social care system, and establish a meaningful relationship with your child
- Opportunity to create a 'legacy document' of your life with your child

There are 5 standardized assessment sets to be completed (1 before beginning and 4 after completing the writing sessions). For each completed assessment set, you will receive a S$30 cash voucher, of up to S$150 per completed study participation.
