SINGAPORE – A new app that allows people facing mental health issues to support one another has been gaining popularity since its launch a week ago.
During its launch on May 23, personalities such as Olympic champion Joseph Schooling, Asian Games jiu-jitsu silver medallist Constance Lien and influencer Hannah Alkaff were featured in a video that called for people to lend a listening ear, reminding them that they are not alone. “I think people are afraid of being vulnerable about their problems because they don’t want to be seen as different, but an anonymous space makes them comfortable enough to do so,” said the user, who wanted to be known only as Ms Catharina.
For another user who wanted to be known only as Mr Kiso, the app acted as a supplement to professional treatment.
