Caregiving for a loved one with mental health issue is a challenging journey with a lot of ups and downs. CAL aims to help caregivers achieve a high level of well-being and resilience through the engagement to empowerment (E2E) strategy. The E2E strategy calls for CAL to engage more, equip more and empower more. Through this strategy, CAL wishes for caregivers to practice self-care and reconnect with fellow caregivers by joining our E2E engagement activities such as the upcoming Pastel Nagomi Art session.
Originated from Japan, Pastel Nagomi Art is a form of Japanese healing art using pastels and fingers with simple but unique techniques to create a warm and gentle piece of artwork.
Pastel Nagomi Art is known for its therapeutic and calming effect on one’s mind, as the participants go through the process to choose and blend the colours and complete their art pieces by themselves. It is an art for anyone and everyone, and do not require participants to be artistically talented or experienced.

Post Event Update
13 caregivers participated in the Relax Creatively with Pastel Nagomi Art engagement activity on 26 February which was facilitated by our Outreach Manager (Community), Kathleen Chia who is also an Associate Instructor with Japan Pastel Hope Art Association and People’s Association (PA) trainer.
During the session, participants were exposed to the basic techniques and encouraged to use their creativity to create their artwork. They shared that the session was therapeutic, especially in light of the current pandemic, and marvelled with their completed art pieces at the end of the session.
One of our caregivers, Wee Soo Bin, shared: “I am thankful to CAL and the sponsors for providing the Nagomi Art set for us (the caregivers) to paint at our leisure time. This is definitely another form of self-care for us all.”
Do look out for the next run of Relax Creatively with Pastel Nagomi Art engagement activity in April 2021.
