Over the last few years, mental health issues have been widely increasing, caused by factors such as social media use, isolation, financial or work-related problems and many more. I feel strongly about the large incidence of Mental Health issues in Singapore and beyond. The Mental Health Film Festival is doing amazing work to fight the stigma associated with Mental Health and to encourage early help-seeking.

On June 8, I will take on a personal challenge and cycle 250km in one day from Singapore to Malacca in Malaysia as part of the campaign ‘Movements for Mental Health’ to raise awareness and funds for the charity. This is going to be particularly challenging given the hot sun impact and heat wave currently going on.

Please donate generously to support the cause.

About Mental Health Film Festival Singapore

MHFFS is a registered charity that conducts outreach events to raise awareness for people in Singapore to provide an inclusive and safe platform for stories about mental health. Through these programmes we hope to encourage early help- seeking. We have run 3 Mental Health Film Festivals, an inaugural roadshow in 2023, satellite events with various schools, corporates and community clubs and 3 Short Film Youth Competitions.

This year, MHFFS wants to utilize sports and engaging activities to create an informal environment that encourages open interaction and communication, fostering an atmosphere conducive to discussing mental health, a key pillar to what we do as an organization. By embracing physical activity, we aim to foster a community that supports mental wellness while challenging the negative perceptions associated with mental health.

With your support, we believe a little goes a long way in making a difference in the mental health landscape.
