Hello! I’m Sher Leng, a final-year Psychology student at NTU. As part of my Final Year Project, I’m conducting a research study to examine the narratives of ‘Glass Children’. ‘Glass Children’ are individuals with siblings who are chronically ill. This study aims to explore how these individuals remain resilient and thrive amidst the challenges they face due to their role.

⚪️Has a living sibling diagnosed with a chronic illness

⚪️Able to be interviewed in English

Study Overview
You will attend a 60-minute in-person interview to share more about your experience with a sibling diagnosed with a chronic illness and how you cope with the challenges surrounding it. Responses recorded will be de-identified after data collection to ensure your privacy.

Participation is voluntary, and you may skip questions or withdraw anytime.

Remuneration
🪴There is no monetary compensation. However, your participation is invaluable in promoting awareness of the experiences of ‘Glass Children’, and empowering others in similar situations.

Today is World Stroke Day

As a stroke survivor, I know too well that "a broken brain isn't always obvious." Looking at me, you might not see the battles that continue within—moments of frustration, resilience, and growth. My stroke in 2022 changed me in ways that can’t always be seen. Some days are tough, and today feels especially poignant.

This World Stroke Day, I am reminded of the strength within our community. We live each day with courage, and we fight through the invisible challenges others may never see. To everyone out there—those fighting, those healing, those who stand beside us—thank you. Let’s continue to share our stories and stand together, reminding the world that recovery is more than what meets the eye.
