Mental wellness is a critical 21st century skillset.

Master it. Lead with it.

Be a Wellbeing Champion.

Most of us were never taught how to truly support the people we love — let alone care for ourselves in the process. The OTR Academy empowers you with the science and practice of wellbeing, self-awareness, and empathic leadership, supporting you to build stronger relationships, lead from a place of authenticity, and live with purpose.

“The journey in mental wellness begins with you, the moment you decide to take charge of your own wellbeing. As a Wellbeing Champion and Wellbeing Mentor, you are at the heart of your own care circle and in a pole position to provide support for your loved ones and those in your immediate network. We are reimagining and reinventing community mental health care as we know it.”

– Yen-Lu & Yee Ling Chow
Co-founders, Over-The-Rainbow

FEATURED ON:

IS THIS FOR YOU?

You don't need a clinical background.

Just the courage to show up for yourself – and for others.

The Wellbeing Champion programme is designed for anyone who plays a meaningful role in someone else’s life.

Individuals

 Know yourself better, build resilience, and show up more fully for the people around you — from the inside out.

Parents

Be the parent your child can turn to, especially when things get hard. Learn the language and presence that make it possible.

Educators & School Staff

You see your students every day and often notice when something isn’t right. Learn how to respond with confidence and compassion, not just concern.

Managers & Team Leads

You care about more than performance — you care about your people and their wellbeing. Learn how to support them and build a culture where people feel seen and supported.

Community Leaders

You’re already showing up for your community. Deepen your impact with evidence-based wellbeing skills and a network of like-minded practitioners.

💬 The Common Thread:
You care about someone’s wellbeing — and you’re ready to move concern into action. You want to be genuinely equipped to make a difference in your circle of care.

OUR MISSION

Reimagining Mental Health Care via Community Empowerment

For over 13 years, Over-The-Rainbow has walked alongside youths, parents, families, and communities across Singapore — supporting them through moments of struggle and growth.

Through this work, we now know that mental wellness begins at home, with the individual – flourishes through the family, and ripples out to the community. When individuals build holistic self-care habits, empathy, and emotional awareness, the impact ripples outward — strengthening families, workplaces, and communities. 

The Academy was created to make these skills accessible to everyone. We have distiled what we’ve learned into a structured, science-backed pathway to practical wellbeing, self-awareness, and empathic leadership — one that anyone can master, no clinical background required.
