Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 7: Jean See on improving SEPs' mental health and well-being
Freelancers are often stressed by financial security due to fluctuating demand, client cancellation and payment delay. Some have shared that freelance work could increase feelings of isolation and loneliness. NMP Jean See, who highlighted these concerns in parliament on Monday (Mar 10), asked if the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth could provide an update on its efforts under the National Mental Health and Well-being Strategy and how it is working with government procuring agencies and stakeholders to improve the mental health and well-being of freelance coaches, instructors and creators.
