Why should I consider making my contribution to Silver Ribbon (Singapore)?

According to a local study on adult population, 1 in 6 Singaporeans is suffering from a form of mental disorder. However, stigma that surrounds mental illness often prevents people from seeking treatment and the consequences of untreated mental illness can be shattering, leading to unnecessary disability, homelessness, unemployment, incarceration and even suicide. 

Silver Ribbon (Singapore) believes that the earlier an illness is detected and treated, the better the treatment outcome. Therefore, since its inception in 2006, we have been working closely with policymakers, government agencies, grassroots leaders, religious leaders, journalists, local and overseas mental health organisations, school institutions, psychiatric patients and their caregivers by

• organising at least 2 complimentary mental health events for the community monthly,
• commemorating World Mental Health Day annually,
• offering assistance to school institutions and organisations on mental health programme or project,
• offering complimentary counselling service to the community,
• providing advice on mental health issues,
• linking individuals/caregivers/organisations up with relevant mental health organisations, and
• introducing effective mental health programmes to the local community.

Your contribution will help us in combating health stigma and encouraging early treatment.
