“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.”
– Glenn Close
One of our goals as an organization is to create mental health awareness. Counting down to five years since Stilt Ng was established, we have had over 70 online sessions handling topics ranging from self-care & the art of saying NO, managing anger, accidental counselling, navigating mental health in a social media-obsessed world, the magic of dialogue, dealing with conflict, body image, eating disorders, etc. Our online community has grown to accommodate over 300 people in a close-knit bond and thousands more through our various initiatives.
