Drumming with Hougang: Final Reflection – Service CAS LO6

 LO 6 GLOBAL VALUE (Engaging with issues of global importance)

In the final season on Drumming with Houngang, one of the really big take aways was learning about issues with global siginificance. Hougang care centre is a care centre in Singapore with helps with the rehabilitation process of people with who suffer from mental illnesses or mental disorders. Currently over 450 million people world wide suffer from a mental illness or a neurological disorder according the the World Health Organisation however there is a large stigma around mental illnesses in a lot of countries . Alot of people in different countries feel ashamed about their mental illness or feel ashamed to reach out and ask for help. By interacting with people from Hougang centre myself and my peers are able to learn more about these people and people who may suffer from mental illnesses in general. This helps to build an increased awarness in the community and helps to reduce the shame and stigma around mental illnesses.
