Hello!
Tricia is a NUS medical student in her penultimate year, and a 2022 Orygen Global Youth Mental Health Fellow. During her gap year, she founded the first National Youth Advisory Group for mindline.sg youth, a national digital mental health programme. She was nominated to run the Youth Partnership in Policy Making workshop at the recent 2022 International Association for Youth Mental Health Conference, the largest of its kind in the world. She was part of the consulting team for a national youth mental health study commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, Community & Youth, as part of the Inter-agency Task Force for Mental Health & Wellbeing. She is working on a project to bring headspace type integrated youth mental health centres to Singapore.
