We appreciate a pair of listening ears at some points of our lives.
This series is illustrated together with Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) as part of Mental Health Month. Set our phones or preoccupations aside and lend our ears to someone. If you need a listening ear or know someone in need, call SOS at 1-767* or whatsapp 9151 1767* (*This is a Singapore-based service.)
More about SOS
SOS is the only volunteer-manned care service in Singapore that listens 24/7. Every year, SOS needs more trained listeners, who provide emotional support through calls and texts. To learn about volunteering as a trained listener, I encourage you to join their potential volunteer briefing or sign up at the link below. Shortlisted volunteers will receive training to provide emotional support in a confidential and non-judgmental manner, as well as to identify crises for professional follow-up.
