About this event

WHAT?

Have you ever encountered a friend, classmate, or colleague in emotional distress or going through a difficult situation but feel unsure about how best to support them?

Youth today face an increasing amount of stress and challenges as they transition into adulthood. This can take a toll on their mental wellbeing and may even lead to mental health issues if not well coped with.

Trusted empathetic support from a fellow peer can make a positive difference on one’s mental wellbeing, especially for youth who are hesitant to seek professional help. Through providing a non-judgemental ear and sharing relatable experiences from a similar life stage, peers can come to realize that they are not alone in their struggles and feel assured that help is always available.

Through engaging roleplays, personal reflections, and group discussions, come join us as we learn how to effectively provide our “peer-sence” to youth by understanding:

  • How to look out for and recognise signs of emotional distress in youth
  • Our personal biases and fears towards supporting someone in distress
  • Soft skills to interact and empathize with a peer mindfully and compassionately such that they feel heard and supported

What to bring:

Writing materials, water bottle, jacket

WHO?

FOR: YOUTH BETWEEN THE AGES OF 17 TO 35
