> Mental health professionals in Singapore report that up to 30% more youths are seeking support than a year ago. Some want teens to be able to access counselling without parental consent at a younger age, allowing problems to be addressed earlier. The Health Ministry is seeking feedback and drafting guidelines on parental consent for mental health services, aiming to improve access while safeguarding young people's welfare and privacy.
