Walking in Their Shoes

Preventing Youth Suicide

Ycare seeks to empower young persons affected by mental health challenges to recover and live well and prevent youth suicide. Walking in Their Shoes is an immersive exhibition that features the stories of five amazing individuals, whose life journeys were changed by youth mental health challenges and suicidality.

You will be invited to walk in the footsteps of three young persons who have survived their experiences, a mother who lost her child, and a young person who lost a friend. The five verbatim stories depict the diversity of perspectives.

As a community, we can do more to prevent the next youth suicide. Ycare poses a central question to each of us, “Why care?”

Ycare: Walking in Their Shoes is part of the Elephant in Our Community public education campaign on mental health and suicide prevention by Shan You. It was developed and produced in collaboration with Singapore Repertory Theatre.
