About National Silver Academy (NSA)
The National Silver Academy (NSA) is a network of post-secondary education institutions (PSEIs) (i.e. ITE, polytechnics, universities and arts institutions) and community-based organisations that offer learning opportunities that are subsidised for seniors. Seniors and PRs aged 50 years and above can look forward to attending short courses and bite-sized courses that are exam free. For courses run by community-based organisations, the final fee payable – for both Singaporean and Permanent Resident seniors – takes into account the support given by the government to community-based organisations to develop and offer the short courses.

| Objective | Mental Well-Being takes practice. Participants will learn how to be mindful through understanding the concepts and then putting into direct experience the various methodologies and self-help techniques to take control of their life especially during periods of high stress. The course is intended to be fully interactive and concepts will be put into immediate practice. The course will have three parts:
Part 1 – Mind of Consciousness. Part 2 – Spirit of a Joyful Heart. Part 3 – Body of Well-Being. |
| Description | Self-regulation is fundamental to being mindful in mind, spirit, and bodily well-being. Interpersonal Neurobiology can explain how order and chaos in our personal and social life can be dealt with through mindful awareness training and practice. It boils down to a process calls integration that links mind and the embodied brain to all our significant relationships. |
