Me to You

is a real-time counselling chatroom for the youth. If you have visited other chatrooms like IRC, msn Chat and ICQ, this will sound familiar to you.

Be it school, friends, families or within ourselves, what we do everyday often triggers feelings inside us. We can be upset with parents for not giving enough freedom, be stressed out with our studies, or finding out what we want for ourselves, what we want to be in future.

Everyone is bound to go through many situations where we find ourselves seeking support from others. metoyou simply provides just that, a channel for youth to share their feelings with someone.

Simply, you could call this your hangout place to share and discuss your life experiences.

The reasons why i like this place,

This place is where the youth's virtual experience and real world converge.

The cyber world is often viewed as negative or dangerous for the youth. But over here, their experience of the cyber world is different. over here, it is safe, positive and therapeutic. and this aspect is usually overlooked by many.

metoyou cyber counselling will always have a special place in this helping network. There is always a group of youth that chat with us who don't want to seek face-to-face help and may not have been helped otherwise if not for this service.


National Council on Problem Gambling

NCPG are dedicated to helping individuals and their families deal with problem gambling. Now in our third term, we continue to strive to minimise the number of Singaporeans suffering, through providing counselling services, conducting training sessions and various other programmes.

There's only a fine line that separates us from the effects of problem gambling. Here are some warning signs you can look out for in order to get appropriate help.

  • Increasing preoccupation with gambling

  • A need to bet more money, and more frequently

  • Restlessness or irritability when attempting to reduce or stop gambling

  • Chasing losses

  • A loss of control

  • Continuation of gambling behaviour despite mounting negative consequences

  • Looking for the "high" that comes from gambling

  • Increasing isolation from family and friends

  • Declining work performance

  • Neglecting basic needs like money for food and rent

  • Pressuring others for money as financial problems crop up

  • Lying about how money is spent

  • Escaping to other excesses (alcohol, drugs, sleep)

  • Denying there is a problem

    WHAT ELSE CAN PROBLEM GAMBLING LEAD TO?
    Problem gambling may be associated with mental health and well-being issues. These include feeling a loss in control, decision-making, ability to cope and autonomy. In addition, gamblers may also engage in other negative behaviours.


National Crime Prevention Council

The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) is a non-profit organisation committed to promoting public awareness of and concern about crime and to propagate the concept of self-help in crime prevention.
