Betsy’s Place – A Residential Respite Centre

‘I have struggled with Clinical Depression for more than 12 years. Initially, these were very dark and lonely days of my life. Coming to Psaltcare helped me realise I wasn’t alone in my struggles.’ Quote by Chris, a Psaltcare peer.

‘Having a mental illness diagnosis and been through 3 relapses, I can certainly attest to the importance of having a strong support network. Social support is a very important factor in recovery and achieving full daily mental wellness for us. Psaltcare has been instrumental in helping me achieve this so far’. Quote by Felix, another Psaltcare peer.

Psaltcare aims to help such persons with mental health challenges to get well, maintain wellness and contribute meaningfully to society.

We do so by engaging them in safe, support groups among persons with similar challenges so that they can support each other in their long recovery journey. By operating a dual-purpose activity hub cum short term residential respite centre, which we affectionately call Betsy’s Place, persons with mental health challenges find a community that can truly empathise with what they are going through and have a safe place that they can call ‘home’. They now also have a quiet, rest place to go to whenever they need a safe space to regain their composure during times of heightened personal stress levels. At Psaltcare, we also provide them with coping skills training and workshops to help them along their recovery journey.
