YMCA champions #IAMWHOLE

On this World Mental Health Day (10 October 2020), YMCA of Singapore is launching #IAMWHOLE, an anti-stigma mental health campaign led by University-YMCA, to encourage young people to speak out, seek help and get support.

As part of #IAMWHOLE, we want you to take a #WHOLEHOUR to practice self-care and look after your mental health. To provide some ideas of things you can do with your #WHOLEHOUR, we have a wide array of activities lined up for you!

Whatever you decide to do for your #WHOLEHOUR, we want to hear from you!

Sign the pledge and be sure to use the hashtag #IAMWHOLE and #WHOLEHOUR. Follow us on @uniysg for more mental health tips and stand a chance to win attractive self-care kits!

#IAMWHOLE is an anti-stigma mental health campaign run by Spirit Studios, developed in partnership with the NHS and YMCA with the aim of encouraging young people to speak out and seek help.
