Shaw Heritage Arts and Wellbeing (SHAW) Studios

Support Group

SHAW Studios is dedicated to strengthening mental wellbeing and social connections through the arts. Based in Singapore, we support new mothers and vulnerable communities through our evidence-based programmes that are grounded in research and co-developed in collaboration between artists and healthcare professionals.

How we Help Mums

We help new mothers (and your babies) boost emotional and mental wellbeing through an evidence-based, empowering group singing programme called Mama Melodies.

Based on ground-breaking research by the Royal College of Music, Imperial College London, King's College of London and the World Health Organisation, Mama Melodies is informed by the Breathe Melodies for Mums programme run by Breathe Arts Health Research.

These 1-hour weekly singing sessions have been proven to energise and uplift, helping to improve your self-confidence and strengthen the bond between you and your baby, all whilst learning a new skill!

Connect with other new mums facing similar experiences, and discover new ways of expressing yourself through music, without fear of judgement. Enjoy a variety of simple songs from around the world, led by trained facilitators in a relaxed environment. Come as you (and your babies) are; no singing experience required.
