Debated in Parliament on 22 Sep 2025.
Ms He Ting Ru asked the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health since the launch of the Parenting for Wellness Initiative (a) how many parents have been reached with this resource; (b) how many visitors or users have logged on to the portal as registered users; and (c) whether there are any early insights to be shared about which features of the initiative have registered particular interest from users.
The Health Promotion Board, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Social and Family Development launched the Parenting for Wellness initiative in September 2024. The website has reached 69,000 unique visitors, with over 2,700 users signing up for the personalised dashboard which recommends learning modules and tracks their progress. The Government and partners have distributed over 76,000 copies of the Parenting for Wellness Toolbox through digital downloads and physical copies at events such as the Digital for Life Festival, National Family Festival and Singapore Mental Health Conference.
This initiative has received positive feedback from parents who find the resources relevant and practical. Family life educators and student welfare officers also shared that the resources will support their work with families.
We will continue to work closely with partners to refine and improve the resources on the platform, to ensure it meets parents' evolving needs.
