WHAT WE DO

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.
 

Be a peer supporter today!
