The Big Story Ep 103: Covid-19: Open conversation can help River Valley school students process tragedy, says expert

5:13 mins

Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story, hosted by Hairianto Diman and Olivia Quay.

Students from River Valley High School returned to campus on Wednesday (July 21), two days after the alleged killing of a 13-year-old boy. Many were seen carrying bouquets of flowers into the campus to pay their respects to their schoolmate. The school has also set up a website for the public to leave messages of support and condolences.

As the student body comes to terms with the July 19 tragedy, founder of the Brahm Centre Angie Chew discusses how family and friends can spot early signs of psychological distress among teenagers.
