Mr Nur Irsyad Abu Bakar, who led the NTU team that helmed We Hear-t You, said: “As part of Singapore’s commitment to supporting youth mental health, we hope to contribute to the mental health landscape and target their first line of defence - parents.” “By ideating strategies to resolve problems they face in managing youth struggles, we hope parents will feel empowered to take the first step to spark conversation with their youth.”
The We Hear-t You campaign also has a letter-writing initiative to provide parents with the opportunity to take the first step in talking to their children about mental health.
