The objective of conducting ‘X‐STIGMA’is to provide an interactive platform for students to be involved in the understanding and learning of issues surrounding mental health. We hope that through this process, we will be able to raise public awareness of the issues associated with mental health, as well as to mitigate the prevailing stigma attached to individuals coping with mental health issues in our society.
The competition is targeted at students from all Junior Colleges (including students of equivalent standard in Integrated Programmes and Centralized Institutes), Polytechnics and Universities in Singapore. The reason for this is that we want to start the change in how our society perceives individuals coping with mental health issues at the grassroots level. Being leaders of the future, we believe that if we can change the views of our youth, we can change the future.
