心理健康问题一直社会所关注的课题,但人们因社会偏见,对于可能出现心理健康问题的人有着负面的印象,导致他们求助可能也会出现困难。阿裕尼—后港市镇会(Aljunied-Hougang Town Council,简称AHTC)为了能够让有需要的人获得帮助,依据该区需求而实施相关措施,包括市镇会的公告栏与时事通讯上放上心理健康求助热线电话。

阿裕尼集选区议员毕丹星于上周五(12日)在脸书上发文,表示该社区中的一些青年对于心理健康课题相当关注,并试图提高人们对心理健康的警觉。为此,有来自阿裕尼的居民与他取得联系,并要求阿裕尼—后港市镇会能够对心理健康课题提高关注,向民众介绍一些心理健康的求助热线。

对此,毕丹星也表示赞同,于是该市镇会也开始着手寻找相关资料,并对此进行翻译,最后再将相关信息公布在市镇会公告栏和时事通讯《好邻居(Good Neighbours)》上。

其求助热线涵盖各种需求,包括妇女权益/性暴力、自杀、家庭暴力,就各项需求提供不同的热线,让居民能够向适合的机构寻求协助。

除了感谢市镇会的配合,毕丹星也向曾在国会上质询心理健康问题的非选区议员吴佩松与官委议员王丽婷,感谢他们长期以来关心与提倡心理健康课题,让人们能够提高警觉。
