• Why we do what we do
• 12% of Singaporean residents suffer a mental illness during their lifetime
• First onset of mental illness tends to occur in young adulthood (20-26)
• Professional mental health treatment is stigmatized and avoided
• Only 30% seek professional help, with average delays from 4 to 13 years 
• Lack of social support because majority of people are unwilling to disclose their mental illness to friends and family
• Among 50,000 patients, general practitioners only correctly identified depression in 47.3% of cases

=> Problems:

• Early stage support is not sought by individuals experiencing mental illness
• Mutual sharing and empathy are what individuals are more likely to seek prior to any professional counselling services
• Not enough trustworthy resources for these individuals to approach promptly and conveniently
• Disconnect between individuals and professional organizations in their efforts to tackle mental illness

WE ASPIRE TO BUILD UP AN ENGAGING COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE SUFFERING MENTAL ILLNESSES TO SHARE THEIR STORIES, DIVE INTO THE ROOT CAUSES, CREATE VALUED CONNECTIONS, AND BE MOTIVATED TO TAKE ACTIONS!
