People are already turning to AI for comfort, advice and support — sometimes helpfully, sometimes not. We're a community of practitioners, builders, researchers and people with lived experience who want to shape this well, together, from the ground up.
AI tools are becoming part of how people in Singapore seek information, cope on hard days, and decide whether to reach out for help. That brings real possibilities — and real risks, especially when AI is used as a substitute for therapy, crisis support or clinical guidance.
There is no committee or commission behind this. We are a community of practice: an open, ongoing space for people who are building, researching, practising or living with these questions to learn from one another and raise the standard of what gets built here.
Three open questions guide our gatherings and conversations:
How is AI changing the way people in Singapore seek help, and the pathways they take to mental health support?
How do we keep people safe when AI becomes part of their mental health journey?
What role does AI play in shaping who can access and benefit from mental health support — and who gets left behind?
We'll read and discuss a research paper on AI in mental health together — no expertise required, just curiosity and care. Come as you are.
RSVP on LumaBuilders and technologists working on AI products that touch mental health. Clinicians, counsellors and social workers. Researchers and ethicists. Policymakers. And — importantly — people with lived experience of mental health challenges. If you care about getting this right, you belong here.
Register your interest and tell us a little about yourself — your background, what you're working on, and what you hope this community can hold together. We'll let you know when things are happening 💌
