Need a Helping Hand?

Bored in lockdown and don’t know what to do with yourself? Join us in creating a helping hand!

A helping hand is visual representation of the people or groups we feel comfortable to talk to when we're having a tough time.

Whether you are the next Picasso in the making or struggle to draw a stick figure, anyone can create their very own helping hand like the one below. All you need is a pen and paper.

Check out the steps here to create your own helping hand, and remember to keep it safe and check back on it when you're not feeling your best. No matter what's going on, we always have a handful of people to reach out to and have a chat with. Together, we've got this!

Below are some suggestions for who you can reach out to when you're having a tough time:
