The IMH team reported that 2,452 young individuals sought assistance last year. A striking 90% of these cases utilized online platforms for help
SINGAPORE: The number of Singapore youngsters seeking help for mental health issues shot up by 10 per cent last year, according to a recently released report by the community support team of the Institute of Mental Health .
The cards serve as educational tools and practical guides, offering information on mental health resources, self-care tips, and emergency contacts.The mental health cards are more than just informational pamphlets; they are designed to be a lifeline for young people struggling in silence, providing immediate access to vital resources and encouraging young people to seek help when needed.
Helping to break down barriers that might prevent young people from seeking help, they connect those in need with the appropriate services and provide feedback to mental health professionals, ensuring that services are timely and relevant. Integrating young volunteers into the IMH’s outreach has already shown positive outcomes. Volunteers provide essential feedback from their interactions in the field, helping to refine and enhance the centre’s services.
