The recent wave of student suicides has attracted much public attention. The government introduced the "Three-Tier School-based Emergency Mechanism" at the end of last year to identify and support students at high risk of suicide. Before and after this, the education, social service, and medical sectors have implemented various measures and services regarding support of students with mental stress. This issue of the Policy Bulletin is based on interviews with secondary school principals, youth social workers from different units, and organizations promoting mental health. Here is a brief overview: A secondary school principal believes the emergency mechanism is useful and encourages schools to make necessary arrangements to accommodate students in need, as well as to promote a more inclusive campus culture; Youth service units of social service organizations have designed various programs to allow adolescents seeking help for mental distress free of stigma. These units have also effectively utilized their facilities as places for adolescents to find relief; and A social enterprise promotes mental health and reduce stigma with stories and events, both online and offline. Furthermore, this issue also introduces Singapore's mental health strategy, with its key features of multiple-tier intervention, community support, and cross-sector collaboration.  As the government ...

In the October 2023 Policy Address, the government announced the establishment of the " Task Force on Tackling the Issue of Subdivided Units," which has conducted in-depth discussions on matters related to subdivided units. This includes strengthening existing enforcement actions focused on the safety of subdivided units, setting minimum standards for living conditions, and methods for eradicating substandard units. The task force submitted its report to the government in August 2024, and it is expected that the government will propose specific measures to crack down on poor-quality subdivided units after considering the task force's recommendations and feedback from other stakeholders. Although the government has not yet released concrete plans, many social welfare professionals are concerned about the potential impacts of the issues on subdivided units on service users and the resulting service needs. Therefore, the council will hold a roundtable meeting on How Social Services Respond to tackle the Issue of Subdivided Units” to facilitate communication and experience sharing among various sectors.
