Mental health affects every aspect of our lives. This is especially so for youth (18-35) because their lives are full of transitions and significant life events. What can we do to support them through this period?

I would like advice on helping survivors of suicide who are not just mothers. I have a friend whose husband committed suicide. How do we help them? Do we talk about the suicide?

It's always heartbreaking losing a loved one, be it through natural causes, illness or accidents. But to lose someone to suicide leaves behind so many unanswered questions, and it can be difficult to find closure. One of our team mates lost a friend to suicide; she chose to talk through it with her psychologist because dealing with feelings of guilt, anger, despair is overwhelming. So yes, talk about it. Talk to someone who might know the deceased. Grieve together, reminisce together, heal together. Also, please know that healing doesn't have to follow an expected timeline, you're allowed to take as long as you want. Knowing this is always a great first step in understanding what closure really means to you, and those around you.

@princesskaryllebagadomondon As people with lived experience, the idea of stigma is often twofold. First, there is social stigma, which is outside of us, and refers to the way people react or respond to us. Second, there is self stigma, which is our own internal reaction or response to ourselves and the conditions we might have. There probably isn't an easy solution to resolving stigma, but one thing we can do is to reach within ourselves and rewrite some of the stories we tell ourselves. We can't control the way people behave towards us, which can be quite hurtful, but we can control the way we see ourselves and our sense of worth. Sending strength your way!
Spending money on medication and therapy is financially heavy especially for people who are unemployed. What are some other cost-saving tips you might suggest?

@thetapestryproject-sg family service centers are free for singaporeans I believe and they are almost everywhere in singapore. Usually in the neighborhoods etc! There are people who are practicing to become counsellor as well who are willing to do pro bono work. Another free option, although it is only catered for short term. And I also suggest trying other sorts of therapy rather than just talk therapy. Things like movement, art, music, play therapy etc can all be beneficial and helpful. Over The Rainbow has free events by donation where one can explore some of these therapies in SG as well.
