A short but ground-breaking video may have slipped under the radar during the 2024 National Day Parade: A social worker shared about losing a friend to suicide during his school days. It moved him to work in the mental health field to save others. His shared story was ground-breaking as suicide prevention in Singapore is often not adequately addressed because of stigma. As well, there is a lack of awareness that suicide is a major public health problem.
