Help break the silence. Join us this Suicide Prevention Awareness Month as we address an age-old stereotype with an inspiring two-part film.

Talking about your emotions doesn’t make you weak. It simply makes you human.

Through open conversations and a supportive community, we can create a safer, healthier space around the topic of suicide and mental health.

This Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, reach out to those around you and show that you care.

The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.

In this video, we sat our volunteers down to have a frank and open conversations with each other. They open up on their vulnerabilities and form a bond that will mirror the kind of conversations volunteers have with their clients.

If you wish to be a Samaritan too, our applications are accepted all year round while interviews and training are conducted regularly.

Together, we can all be an available lifeline.

Join us in the #HOWRU Virtual Walkathon. At these uncertain times, let us encourage one another that we will be on this journey together.

Your contribution in registration fee will go in support of the cause of suicide prevention in your respective home country, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong.
