SINGAPORE – When faced with a resident struggling with mental health, grassroots leader Alvin Ragavan Reggie usually offers a listening ear but is worried of saying the wrong thing.
Mr Alvin is among 36 people trained in this first round of the initiative – run by North West Community Development Council – which was officially launched on Saturday with an appointment ceremony and first training session.
Mr Alvin, a pastor, said he hopes that through the training, he can pick up signs that residents are facing mental stress, and quickly refer them for help. Mr Alvin serves in the Canberra division where he interacts with residents through regular house visits and constituency-wide events.
