At EMCC, we believe in the power of lived experiences. Recently, we took to the streets and spoke with some elders who shared their timeless wisdom on managing anger. Their advice was simple yet profound, and their stories reminded us that no matter our age, we can all benefit from the gentle art of patience. So, how do you cope with anger?

How do you handle frustrating situations when life throws challenges your way? Everyone has their own approach to coping with stress. To explore this, we took to the streets and had the chance to chat with Stacia and Nur Amirah. They graciously shared their personal experiences and insights on how they navigate through frustration and manage life's challenges. Whether it's through mindfulness, support from loved ones, or unique personal techniques, their stories offer a glimpse into how everyday individuals build resilience and find calm in the storm. Stay tuned to hear more of these stories!

Anger is a natural emotion, but when left unchecked, it can significantly impact mental health, leading to stress, anxiety, and even depression. The EMCC team hit the ground to ask Singaporeans a simple question: When was the last time you were angry? We spoke to Iman (@ _sylhnzlkfli _ ), a former NSF, and Syahrin (syahrin_jjang), a father and firefighter, whose experiences left us much to ponder, reminding us that anger is a universal emotion that we all experience. Talking about anger is crucial—it opens the door to understanding and managing these feelings in healthy ways, helping to prevent long-term emotional harm and fostering personal growth. Learning to manage anger healthily is vital to maintaining emotional balance and overall well-being.

When was the last time you cried? We spoke with Zoomers (those from Gen Z) about how they cope with their mental health challenges. In our conversations, we found a range of coping strategies. Many young people rely on therapy, counselling, and support from friends and family. Creative outlets like art, music, physical activities, and self-care practices, also play a crucial role. A common theme was the importance of open conversations about mental health. Zoomers emphasised the need for awareness, acceptance, and resources to help them navigate their challenges. These stories highlight the importance of reducing stigma and fostering supportive environments.

We took to the streets and listened to heartfelt stories of grief and resilience. Each person we spoke with shared their journey through loss and the ways they‘ve found strength in vulnerability. These conversations are a powerful reminder of the importance of community and support in healing.

When was the last time you cried? EMCC presents our #onthestreet series where we spoke to people from all walks of life to uncover their mental health struggles that come in many shapes and forms. Here's part one!
