Mental health can be a challenging arena to navigate. Stigmas and myths, reinforced over generations, have made it difficult for a lot of people to broach the topic, let alone speak honestly about it. Worlds Apart: A Conversation About Mental Health looks to address this and provide a stepping stone for readers to bring mental health realities into the light of day.
Join writer Wayne Rée and illustrator Nurjannah Suhaimi as they share their experiences and inspirations creating this comic book, and how the book can be a tool to encourage people to have more conversations about mental health issues. Difference Engine is also pleased to welcome guest speaker Deborah Chen from Singapore Association for Mental Health, who will share more about mental health resources, and how to facilitate a culture of openness and care.
