SINGAPORE - Touch Community Services has introduced an interactive video that uses virtual reality to help the youth understand anxiety disorder better.

Speaking to the media after the session, Mr Lee said the character in the game faced stress from her parents, family conflict and even domestic violence, all of which created the conditions for anxiety. When surveyed by Touch, 87 per cent of the students said that after going through the programme, they were more willing - and had more confidence - to interact with persons with mental health issues. Most were also able to identify the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Yesterday, Mr Lee announced an initiative to canvass for views and ideas on youth mental well-being, which can be submitted at http://www.reach.gov.sg/youth-mental-well-being. It builds on the SG Youth Action Plan launched in May last year.
