Having a Crush as an Adult Was Less About Him Than It Was About Me
Le Trinh Ngoc Diep

Having a crush as an adult doesn’t need to lead to a relationship. More importantly, it quietly points us back to ourselves. It asks us what we're longing for, what we're afraid of, what we're ready for, and what still needs healing.

We’ve also trained 400+ peer support facilitators!

With the support of the National Youth Fund, we trained over 400 volunteers across Singapore with the knowledge and skills to hold space for others, facilitate meaningful discussions, and support peers in an empathetic way at Calm Circles.

Calm Circles has created safe, inclusive spaces for open dialogue, helping to normalise conversations around mental health and reduce the stigma often associated with seeking support. For many participants, it has been a first step toward acknowledging their mental health needs, breaking through isolation, and learning that they are not alone.

We are not currently recruiting for peer support volunteers, but subscribe to our newsletter to find out when we open new volunteering opportunities.
