Youth is a time of your life when you are footloose and fancy free!You're
at the threshold of your life with so many things to look forward to ... dating, job, marriage, travelling and seeing the world. Suddenly, you realise that your life is not as care-free as it used to be.
You're beginning to make more decisions for yourself – both big and small, and take on more responsibilities. With so many things happening to you and around you – it's exciting yet at the same time, as they say too much of anything is bad. You may be overwhelmed and you find yourself, sometimes feeling confused, blue and even depressed.
This is the time when people your age are particularly vulnerable to mental health problems. Hence, the reason for CHAT is to be there for you on this stretch of your life's journey by keeping you informed about mental health issues, recognise when you need help and where to get it.
If you feel that you're grappling with some mental health issue, let us help you by making an initial assessment. Then, if necessary, we can get you the professional help you need. For that matter, if you're working on a school project on mental health for youths, we can assist you with information and
other resources.
The team behind CHAT are healthcare professionals specially trained to help youths between the ages of 16 and 30 years.
Drop in at CHAT Hub with your friends! You will find free Wifi, a selection of boardgames and magazines for you and your friends to chill the hours away! Or, if exams are round the corner, you can camp on the cosy couches for group study. Light refreshments are provided free.
In case you're wondering where we are – CHAT Hub is located at *SCAPE #05-05. It's open from Tuesdays to Sundays, 12pm to 9pm (closed on Mondays and public holidays).
We need volunteers to help us with our CHAT website. If you're interested, contact us at chat@YouthInMind.sg
