Suicide is the Number 1 cause of death among those aged 10-29. One Life Lost Is One Too Many. You Can Make A Difference.
The research study aims to identify:
- What avenues of help youths in Singapore (age 10-18) want, when they encounter mental stress;
- Parents’ and youths’ beliefs about mental health, and about mental health services.
Musim Mas BlueStar* Fund
Seeded by a corporate philanthropist, the Musim Mas BlueStar* Fund is a $1M Fund by The Majurity Trust that supports non-profit organisations delivering effective and innovative mental health initiatives for children and youth suffering from depression and anxiety.
Through the fund, we aim to seed new ideas and approaches that include preventive mental health intervention, research and public education initiatives reaching out to youth, and their parents and peers.
Part of the fund will be set aside to catalyse youth-led mental wellness and awareness projects.
Blue is more than a colour. It is associated with calm and also sadness. BlueStar* is a reminder that what we feel is real to us, yet emotions are transient. We can feel better with support.
A Star, twinkling bright, evokes feelings of positivity, hope and possibilities. Like the asterisk which calls attention to something important, the BlueStar* calls attention to each of us, to be there for each other.
