At Resilient Living Singapore, we are a community built by and for people living with autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. Our mission is simple: to empower you to take charge of your health and well-being—on your terms.
We believe that true support means both safety and growth. This is a space where you can find understanding, validation, and connection—but also one where different perspectives can coexist. Healing is deeply personal, and no two people experience illness in the same way. Some turn to medical treatments, others to holistic approaches, and many to emotional or spiritual healing. Here, we honour all experiences while fostering open, respectful conversations.
What you’ll find here:
💡 Insights from real experiences, without judgment – Our articles and resources are volunteer-written, drawing from the collective wisdom of those who have walked this path. We recognise that there’s no single "right" way to manage chronic illness—only what works best for you.
🤝 A community that values both safety and bravery – Support doesn’t mean we all have to agree. It means creating a space where members can share honestly, listen with an open mind, and engage in meaningful conversations without fear of judgement or exclusion.
🛠️ Tools to navigate your journey – Strategies to help you build resilience, manage daily challenges, and make informed choices—at your own pace, in your own way.

A Space for Growth, Not Just Comfort
A strong support group isn’t one where everyone thinks alike—it’s one where everyone feels heard, respected, and valued. Here, we encourage reflection before reaction, listening before responding, and curiosity over confrontation. We believe that differences are not a threat, but an opportunity to learn and grow together.
Because living with chronic illness is challenging enough—you deserve a space where your story matters, your choices are respected, and you are never alone.
Disclaimer: While we provide valuable insights and support, always consult your doctor for medical advice tailored to your needs.
💛 Our Impact: Where Living Well Meets Social Change
At Resilient Living Singapore, we support people with chronic illness not just to survive—but to live fully, with dignity, purpose, and community.
Chronic illness doesn’t exist in isolation. It intersects with broader issues like financial insecurity, access to care, mental well-being, and social inclusion. Yet too often, people living with long-term health conditions are overlooked in national conversations.
We aim here to change that.
🌍 How We Contribute to Broader Change
1. Making the Invisible Seen
We spotlight real-life challenges faced by people with chronic illness—across work, healthcare, relationships, and daily routines—through thoughtful storytelling and resources.
2. Empowering Voices & Skills
We create platforms for people with lived experience to be heard, seen, and valued—offering avenues to share insights, contribute creatively, and grow with purpose. We aim to build confidence and opportunity—one step at a time.
3. Building Bridges, Not Silos
We work across sectors—from eldercare and youth programs to sustainability and disability inclusion—to foster cross-collaboration and shared understanding.
4. Reframing What It Means to Live Well
We focus on supporting agency, rest, joy, resilience, and adaptability. Because living with chronic illness isn’t about bouncing back—it's about finding ways forward. We offer practical guidance, creative inspiration, and a deeply empathetic lens on rest, work, wellness, and meaning.
5. Championing Accessibility & Ethics in Everyday Life
We promote conversations on accessible living, sustainable choices that accommodate energy limitations, and resilient practices that honour different life realities.
🧭 Our Guiding Belief
When people with chronic illness are supported to live well, society as a whole becomes stronger, more humane, and more inclusive.
Resilient Living Singapore fills a quiet but vital space—between health, daily life, and community connection.
And that, too, is nation-building.
