SINGAPORE - Young people volunteering for mental health causes say the stigma surrounding mental health problems has eased among their peers, in part due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Jovan Chong, 20, is a volunteer at mental health charity Resilience Collective, whose peer support programmes involve persons with mental health conditions, typically aged from 18 to 35.
