Ground Up Initiatives

Warning: This video contains sensitive topics related to suicides.

Jenny Teo founded Stigma2Strength, a ground-up initiative, after losing her son to suicide and realising the lack of support for those who have lost loved ones. She aims to create a community for suicide survivors worldwide, debunk suicide myths, and educate others on research-based suicide while encouraging others to share their stories.
