SOS Sonder: Where Resilience Meets Collective Hope

In Singapore, lives continue to be lost to suicide each year, yet many struggles remain unseen and unheard.

Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) brings back their Suicide Prevention Symposium in conjunction with World Suicide Prevention Day.

The event aims to foster meaningful dialogue and collective action around suicide prevention and mental health. Anchored by the theme, “Sonder: Where Resilience Meets Collective Hope”, the symposium will bring together professionals, organisations, community partners, and Guest of Honour Tan Kiat How (Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information) to explore lived experiences, shared responsibilities and future pathways towards a more compassionate and supportive society.
