Mental Health
Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness: it is
vital to individuals, families and societies and described by the
World Health organisation as: "a state of well-being in which the
individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with normal
stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able
to make a contribution to his or her community." In this positive
sense, mental health is the foundation for well-being and effective
functioning of individuals and communities.
Stigma
Stigma means a mark or sign of shame, disgrace of disapproval, of
being shunned or rejected by others. It emerges when people feel
uneasy or embarrassed to talk about behavior they perceive as
different.
Silver Ribbon (Singapore)
Silver RIbbon (Singapore) was launched by President S R Nathan on 4
Feb 2006 to combat mental health stigma and encourage early
treatment. Since its inception, Silver Ribbon (Singapore)
collaborated with local and overseas organisations to reach out to

health events monthly and commemorate World Mental Health Day
