Breaking
the Silence
How Bruneians are working to
destigmatise mental health.
In Brunei, conversations around mental health have long existed in
hushed tones, tucked behind closed doors or wrapped in humour to
mask discomfort.
But over the past few years, more Bruneians are stepping forward to
change that. From intimate community talks to grassroots campaigns,
individuals and collectives alike are working to dismantle the stigma
that prevents many from seeking help — whether from friends or
professionals.
