MENTAL WELL-BEING
Self-care Matters
Fear and uncertainty can leave you feeling stressed, anxious and powerless over the direction of your life, draining you emotionally and trapping you in a downward spiral if it's not managed well. Or is someone around you feeling this way?
Pick up useful skills that can help you navigate the negative emotions and equip yourself with basic mental well-being peer support skills and psychological first aid skills. Young NTUC envisions to create a community of certified peer supporters who can be friends, colleagues, peers that individuals can look to if they feel that they are mentally distressed and need a listening ear, or support in the workplace.
