Saturday 18 July 2026 marks World Listening Day — an annual global observance founded by the World Listening Project in 2010, designed to draw attention to the importance of listening.

July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month — a movement that began in the US, designated by the US House of Representatives in 2008 to honour the legacy of Bebe Moore Campbell, an author, journalist, and mental health advocate who spent her life challenging stigma in Black and other underrepresented communities.

The framing is American. The questions it raises are universal.

Across the world, mental health systems have been built largely on Western, secular, individualistic frameworks. For those whose lived experience doesn’t fit that frame — and that’s a lot of us, in many parts of the world — the result is a mental health system that doesn’t quite see you.

In Singapore, with our beautifully complex multicultural society, this matters. Every person who walks through the door of a therapist’s office brings a whole cultural world with them — Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian, expatriate, migrant, religious, secular, modern, traditional. The work of therapy is to make sure that world is welcomed in.

Father’s Day is the day we say thank you. The day after — International Fathers’ Mental Health Day — is the day we ask the harder question.

How are you actually doing, Dad?

10% of new fathers experience postnatal depression. Up to 18% develop an anxiety disorder in the first postpartum year. And fathers with perinatal mental health problems are 47 times more likely to be at su***de risk than at any other time in their lives.
Most of them say nothing. Because the expectation is to be the strong one. Because the healthcare system forgot to ask. Because paternal depression doesn’t look like sadness — it looks like irritability and overworking and quietly pulling away.

This Father’s Day weekend, we’re asking that question — and meaning it. Swipe through to understand what fathers’ mental health really looks like, and what getting the conversation started could look like for you.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month.

In Singapore, male su***de rates significantly exceed female rates. Boys are less likely to seek help than girls. And many of the men who are struggling have no language for what they are experiencing — because male depression rarely looks the way depression is supposed to look.

It looks like irritability. Like working longer and longer hours. Like pulling back from the people who matter most. Like physical symptoms no one can explain. Like being fine, always fine, until you aren’t.

This month, we want to make space for a different kind of conversation — one that doesn’t require men to arrive already broken before they’re allowed to ask for help.
Swipe through for an honest look at what men’s mental health actually looks like in Singapore — and what genuinely helps.

There is no shortage of mental health advice online. Some of it is useful. A lot of it is generic, or quietly implies that the solution to serious mental health struggles is a better morning routine.

This post is not that.

Swipe through for evidence-informed habits that genuinely support mental wellbeing — explained honestly, with the nuance they deserve. Not cures for clinical conditions. Not substitutes for professional support when that’s what’s needed. But meaningful, accessible, and worth taking seriously.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, the theme is Action. What’s the one thing on this list you’ll actually try?

And if you’ve been wondering whether you need more than habits can give — that’s worth paying attention to. We’re here.

Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 runs 11–17 May — and this year’s theme is Action.

Because we’ve come a long way on awareness. People are talking more. The language is more widely shared. The stigma has measurably reduced. But talking about mental health has not been enough to fix the systems that are supposed to support it.
Too many people still wait too long for help. Too many reach crisis before anything changes. And in Singapore, where stoic resilience is a cultural value and face still shapes what people are willing to say out loud, the gap between what people are experiencing and what they admit to remains wide.

This week, the invitation is simple: take one action. For yourself, for someone you love, or for the change you want to see.

Nobody tells you that your hormones won’t return to normal for up to 12 months. Or 18, if you’re breastfeeding.

Nobody tells you that postnatal depression can look like rage instead of tears. Or flatness rather than sadness. Or competently going through the motions while feeling completely absent inside.
Nobody tells you that postnatal anxiety — persistent, relentless vigilance; the inability to rest even when the baby is sleeping — affects more mothers than postnatal depression does.

And nobody tells you that the grief is real. Grief for who you were before. For the relationship that has changed. For the freedom that is gone. And that grieving those things doesn’t mean you don’t love your baby.
