To build up your confidence, emotional resilience and self belief, we incorporate emotional training into our social programmes. Boosting your EQ will quickly help you become more independent and a better team-player. Acquiring these soft skills and coping mechanisms will also be beneficial beyond work, and especially in times of stress.

There are two key differences between our two flagship programmes. Firstly, the duration for HT is 20 weeks, whereas BWT is typically around 10 weeks. Secondly, HT accepts a wider age group of learners, while BWT is specifically designed to be youth-focused between 15 and 26 years old.
Note: We'll assign you into the programme that best suits your needs and situation upon enrolment.

- Referred by e-mail to Bettr by teachers, social workers, counsellors, or professionals working directly with a potential student
