For almost three years, Jun Wei quietly carried overwhelming stress on his own.

The pressure eventually became physical. Anxiety left him constantly nauseous, yet he kept telling himself to simply persevere.

When he finally reached out to EMCC, counselling helped him understand the roots of his struggles, regain confidence, and feel steady again after years of carrying everything alone.

At the time, Jun Wei was between jobs, and subsidy support made it possible for him to continue counselling during a season when he needed it most.

Today, he reflects,

Every day, people reach a point where they know they need help, but cost often becomes another barrier.

At Eagles Mediation & Counselling Centre (EMCC), we believe professional mental health support should be within reach when people need it most, not only when they can afford it.

That’s why we’re raising funds through our partnership with Gateway Arts and The Parting Glass to support our Hope is at Hand Subsidy Fund, making counselling more accessible for individuals and families seeking support.

Every donation helps someone take their first step towards healing.

The show may be over, but the work continues.
From 2–13 September, The Parting Glass brought 1,019 people together to open conversations around mental health and encourage earlier help-seeking.

But our work doesn’t end when the curtain falls. We continue to encourage early help-seeking, so that people can reach out before they reach a crisis point. For those who may need professional support but face financial barriers, EMCC’s Hope is at Hand Subsidy Fund helps keep counselling within reach.

Your continued support can help us make that possible.

Here’s how your contributions can make a difference:

[SGD 160]
Can help us subsidise a counselling session for someone to receive accessible support.

[SGD 800]
For SGD67 per month, you can support one person to receive a package of five subsidised counselling sessions for making meaningful changes in his/her life.

[SGD 1,600]
Can support ten subsidised counselling sessions. Every contribution helps us make professional counselling more accessible to those who need it.

Every donation goes towards EMCC’s Hope is at Hand Subsidy Fund, enabling more individuals and families to access professional counselling that may otherwise be out of reach.

Every donation of $50 and above is eligible for 250% tax deduction.

Donations received through this campaign are also matched under the Enhanced Fund-Raising (EFR) Programme, multiplying your impact.

Our partnership with Gateway Arts doesn’t end when the curtain falls.

Every performance is accompanied by opportunities for reflection, conversations with EMCC counsellors, and mental health resources for audience members.

For public performances, EMCC is also offering a limited number of complimentary counselling sessions on a first-come, first-served basis to encourage those who may be considering seeking support for the first time.

Because sometimes, one conversation can change a life.

“Here’s to us, to love, and to all that could have been.”

Jim is the life of the party.

He’s funny, charming, and always knows what to say.

But beneath the laughter lies a struggle that few people see.

Set in the intimate atmosphere of The Blackbird at Gillman Barracks, The Parting Glass is an immersive theatrical experience exploring depression, masculinity, love, and the conversations we often don’t have until it’s too late.

From the team behind Third Man Syndrome and Every Brilliant Thing, the production asks a simple but important question:

How well do we really know the people we love—and what might we be missing when we don’t ask?

Where do my donations go?
