Say this

  1. Long hours and money worries build stress. So does being far from your family. Feeling it does not make you weak.
  2. Watch for changes in a workmate. They go quiet, snap at people, look tired or stop eating with the crew.
  3. Ask them, "Are you okay?" Then listen. You do not need to fix it.
  4. If you are struggling, tell me or someone you trust. What you share stays private unless someone is in danger.
  5. MOM, NTUC and SNEF ask employers to give workers access to counselling and to train supervisors to spot distress (Tripartite advisory).
  6. The Migrant Workers' Centre helpline is 6536 2692, open 24 hours. Samaritans of Singapore is 1767, also 24 hours.
  7. If someone talks about harming themselves, stay with them and get help now. Call the IMH crisis line on 6389 2222 or 995.

Ask the crew

  1. What changes might tell you a workmate is struggling?
  2. What can you say to start the conversation?
  3. Which helpline is open 24 hours for migrant workers?
  4. What do you do if someone talks about harming themselves?

Show them

  • The helpline poster in the rest area, in all crew languages.
  • Where to find the company counselling service details.
  • The quiet place on site where someone can talk in private.
