Every 4 days, 1 young person aged 10-29 takes their own life, right here in Singapore. This pressing issue can’t be solved by one parent, one school or one counselor.
It will take all of us, a community of care, awareness and timely response. Let’s equip ourselves, that is the first step.
Organised by SPEAK Singapore in partnership with SOS, join their Signs of Suicide Webinar and learn:
⚫️ What are the warning signs to look out for
⚫️ How to respond, even when you’re not sure what to say
⚫️ Where to turn to for help
Let’s stand together and fight for our young children’s lives. 💛 Because every life is precious.
