In this video, we introduce Anwar, a dedicated healthcare worker and family man who faced immense challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. After attending several counselling sessions, Anwar began to notice significant improvements in his mental well-being. Today, he is thriving, continuing to apply the coping strategies he learned, and navigating life with renewed strength and confidence.
Watch as Anwar explores a treasure chest – each item in the chest symbolises a part of his mental health journey and his current feelings. Join us to see what he picked and hear his story.
Through our subsidies scheme, Anwar was able to access counselling at a subsidised rate, which provided crucial support during a difficult time.
To help more people like Anwar, EMCC is aiming to raise a total of SGD287,000 through our Hope is at Hand campaign to provide some 530 individuals, couples, or families with subsidised counselling. To ensure that the counselling sessions lead to holistic recovery for our clients, a minimum of five sessions would often be encouraged.
Your donations to our Hope is at Hand campaign will help us continue providing subsidies for those in need of counselling support.
Mental health is a critical aspect of a person’s well-being. Mental disorders in individuals may have crippling effects on their personal and family lives. In families, we also see the destructive impact of mental health issues that may lead to the breakdown of marriages, behavioural problems with children, conflict situations, and a host of other relationship problems.
Many individuals struggle silently, lacking the resources or support to seek professional help. Stigma, financial constraints, and limited access to services often prevent people from seeking counselling. As a result, untreated mental health issues can escalate, which may lead to profound personal and societal issues.
Accessibility to timely and personalised counselling services is a lifeline for those grappling with emotional distress, ranging from trauma, stress-related issues, depression, anxiety and a host of other presenting issues.
Financial contributions to support subsidised counselling services impacts the lives of individuals, couples, and families – offering them hope and a path towards holistic healing.
Many of EMCC’s clients would not have been able to receive such help if not for the help of donors, which enables EMCC to provide subsidised counselling services to them.
On average, clients would require at least 5 counselling sessions for meaningful change to happen. However, this is rarely enough for them to reach their mental health goals.
We are aiming to raise a total of SGD287,000 to provide some 530 individuals, couples, or families with subsidised counselling. To ensure that the counselling sessions lead to holistic recovery for our clients, a minimum of five sessions would often be encouraged.
By supporting EMCC, you also play a pivotal role in breaking down barriers to mental health care and creating a supportive environment where people are empowered to seek the help they need.

Jun Wei, 28, is a teacher who had been quietly carrying work stress for several years. What began as internal pressure and self-doubt eventually manifested physically in his body. After three years of trying to cope on his own, three months of counselling helped him regain clarity, rebuild confidence, and feel steady again.
“Sometimes we struggle but tell ourselves to ‘just persevere, work on it, grind it out, and build character’. But instead of delaying the pain or waiting to hit rock bottom, we can allow ourselves to accept help earlier.”
After suffering an ectopic pregnancy, Ming was consumed by inexplicable grief and pain. Thoughts of suicide crossed her mind as she looked out her room’s window – but at that moment, she miraculously received a message to seek help from EMCC. Ming took the first step on her road to recovery with EMCC that day.
At 60, Connor* is a father of two grown children and someone who has weathered many seasons of life. Last year, after his mother’s passing, he found himself facing a familiar but deeply uncomfortable terrain: navigating complicated family dynamics that stirred old wounds he thought he had left behind. Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting emotions and searching for clarity, Connor decided it was time to seek support again.
“Over the sessions, I learnt to be kinder to myself, to name what I was feeling, and to make decisions about future contact with certain family members. That clarity took a weight off my shoulders.
I feel more aware of what’s mine to carry, and what’s not. Going forward, I want to continue raising my self-awareness and find peace and happiness one morsel at a time.”
