Someone can have it all together in front of others, and still be struggling. That’s not because the people around them don’t care. It just means it isn’t always easy to see when someone is having a hard time.
In Singapore, su***de has remained the leading cause of death among youths aged 10 to 29 for six years running, and in 2024, the largest increase in su***de deaths was seen among adults aged 30 to 39, according to Samaritans of Singapore (SOS). Behind those numbers are people who were struggling and may not have received the support they needed.
This World Su***de Prevention Day, we’re encouraging people to check in more intentionally.
"How are you?" often gets an automatic answer.
"No, really, how are you?" can open the door to a more honest conversation.
Swipe through for a few gentle ways to start that conversation.
If you or someone you know needs support, Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) is here 24 hours a day at 1-767.
