Expert Guidance for Today's Youth
He provided insights into how Singapore is dealing with the issue and how youths can be better supported in their struggles. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, during which many Singaporeans were forced to limit their social interactions with others, the subject of mental health has increasingly pervaded the country's social consciousness. Campaigns like the National Council of Social Services (NCSS) Beyond the Label and the Health Promotion Board's "It's OKAY to Reach Out" were launched in 2018 and 2021.
Meanwhile, the government's formation of the Interagency Taskforce on Mental Health and Well-being in 2021 unveiled a new national strategy to tackle the issue on Thursday (Oct 5).
A new specialized care facility - a pilot to support youth who are at risk of suicide - is among the initiatives the government intends to roll out.
