NOT ALONE

20/10/2026

Did you know that many people are walking around undiagnosed?

Yes! The stigma has people scared to seek mental health care or support. It is obvious that there are so many myths around mental health challenges, making it difficult for people to learn, understand, support, and care for their mental well-being.

We're saying, it's okay to knock at mental health care facilities, reach out to mental health organizations and professionals, and attend mental health events to learn more and understand that the stigma is the loudest killer in the mental journey.

It all starts with you!
Let's honor the 2026 mental health theme - Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change 💚

Prioritize your mental health. It matters too!💚

Happy Reflection Thursday!✨

Do you know any support group and their impact?

NOT ALONE Counseling Services offers group counseling sessions. Of course, they're suggested by our counsellor (through her private practice) when they are required as part of the intervention plan to provide a broader perspection, insight for understanding, and most importantly, to put individuals in a space where they engage with those in similar situations for them to not feel alone and be able to connect with others without feeling like they aren't understood.

Our founder recently launched a mental health support group for people who were and are experiencing unhealthy and unethical treatment in the workplace. This is a free support group.

Support groups are safe spaces (non-judgmental, respectful, inclusive, supportive, etc.) for individuals to gather for the same or similar purpose(s) in order to explore supportive information, techniques and resources beneficial for emotional and psychological support. They assist individuals in building connections and interacting with others, strengthening social skills at the same time.

It's okay and encouraged to be part of a support group🫱🏽‍🫲🏽

You are NOT ALONE💚

Wellness Wednesday!✨

Do you think people around you don't struggle with their mental health only because they don't talk about it?
What if they do, is it safe for them to talk about it?
Have you ever wondered what it's like living with mental health challenges?

With this year's theme (Real experiences heard: Real voices, Real change), we encourage you to provide and hold safe space that allows others to share, practice active listening and be open to learning.

It is important to understand mental health challenges (disorders and illnesses) , their impact, the support required, and services accessible and available. Educate yourself to know how to support others and prioritise your mental health.

NOT ALONE offers psycho-education to drive education and awareness on mental health care and support. Your experiences and mental health matters!

You are not defined by your diagnosis!💚

Connect Fridays!✨

Communities are a huge part of the environmental system that play an integral role in mental health support. They have the greatest influence on an individual's mental health state, positively and negatively.

We take pride in educating and supporting communities about mental health and challenges related. Equipping them with relevant information, management strategies, services accessibility and availability (counselling and referrals).

NOT ALONE Counselling Services covers the ground with community engagement to eradicate the stigma surrounding mental health challenges 💚
