Who can we turn to when we’re struggling with mental health?

It can feel difficult to ask others for help. But the reality is that sometimes we can’t carry everything on our own, and that’s an entirely normal part of being human. Having the courage to seek help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

This World Su***de Prevention Day, let’s remind one another that it’s okay to reach for support when we need it. This can look like confiding in a friend or asking a family member for advice. However, when things start to feel more unmanageable, sometimes seeking help from beyond our social circles is needed.

If this resonates with you or someone you know, professional support may be helpful. Watch this video to find out more.

📞 Reach out to Allkin Mental Health Service at 6038 4400.
🚨 If you need immediate 24-hour support, call Samaritans of Singapore at 1767.

How can we mobilise action by and with the community, not just for the community? 🤝

A key pillar of Allkin's community development work, the Allkin-Dr Vasoo Community Innovation Award celebrates and supports ground-up initiatives by residents who step forward to address challenges within their communities. 🏆

The Award embodies Allkin’s belief that rather than being passive recipients of services, everyday people possess the motivation, capacity, and insight to co-create the well-being of their own neighbourhoods. The role of community organisations like Allkin is to recognise, resource, and amplify these efforts, rather than supplant them.

In this third edition of the Award, we recognised eight groups, ranging from resident-led to resident-partnered projects, who aim to provide reliable food sources for low-income families, create safe spaces for vulnerable women and children, enable seniors from all walks of life to age actively, and more.

Participating groups gain access to a wider ecosystem of support through events such as the Learning Festival and Marketplace, which include capability development led by Allkin practitioners and cross-learning among fellow resident contributors. This sustained support enables their initiatives to continue growing and evolving alongside the needs of their community. 🌱

If you’re interested to start an initiative of your own, or would like to offer your support for those who are, reach out to us 👉 [email protected]

Join us in congratulating this year’s awardees and stay tuned to find out more about them! 👏

Anyone can wear the mask. Anyone can be a hero. 🦸

Every day in neighbourhoods across Singapore, vulnerable individuals and families struggle against life’s challenges by themselves. At Allkin, we believe in supporting and journeying alongside them.

But no superhero fights alone. They team up with other superheroes to win the battle together!

This reminds us that when each of us contributes, we have the power to create more inclusive and resilient communities together. No matter your personality, you can use your “superpowers” and strengths to help others.

Remember that with great power comes great responsibility. 💪 Let’s do what we can to help those around us feel a little less alone in times of need.

How do we ensure children can keep themselves safe? 🛟

Amidst the growing prevalence and increasing complexity of child protection concerns, it is crucial for the community to take a preventive, not just remedial, approach. Allkin Family Service Centre @ Cheng San 445 recently wrapped up a series of groupwork sessions for children aged 8 to 12, centred on the Protective Behaviour Programme. 🛡️

This evidence-based programme complements our Family Service Centres’ casework and counselling interventions by empowering children to advocate for their own safety. It equips them with practical knowledge and skills to:
👀 Recognise safe and unsafe situations
🚧 Understand and establish personal boundaries
🗣️ Confidently seek help when needed

More than that, the programme provides a safe and supportive environment for children to learn, reflect, and connect with peers. When we come together as a community and treat children’s well-being as a collective responsibility, we can create a safer environment where all our children can thrive.

Thank you to Uniqlo Singapore for generously sponsoring T-shirts for the participants, which helped to make the programme a more engaging experience for them! 🙌👕

Something powerful is happening in our neighbourhoods to fight against social isolation. 👀

People who may never have crossed paths are becoming part of each other’s lives, and that counts for more than it seems. Battling loneliness and improving mental health requires strengthening support across the community – and that is where the idea of “bumping spaces” plays a part.

Swipe to find out more about it and how Allkin incorporates this in our work! 👉

This is our take on creating spaces that are accessible and present, where neighbours can come together to naturally interact, while taking part in activities that promote overall well-being across all ages.
