Tote Board Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme for CFL’s LIFE Chat is approved.
From 01 June 2024 to 30 November 2024, any funds donated to CFL’s <LIFE Chat> is eligible for dollar-for-dollar matching.
Every donation counts, no matter how small.
CFL provides much-needed services in suicide prevention and support for community carers (those caring as family members/ friends/ co-workers/ others for persons with suicidal ideations).
Currently, we focus on providing LIFE Training to equip as many people as possible to recognize signs and positively engage persons who might be having thoughts of suicide, and connect them with community resources for suicide intervention. We hope to step up our efforts to encourage people to seek help early, and potentially lower the suicide rates in the long run.
With your help, we hope to train another 1000 trained community carers. Only donation to CFL’s campaign (LIFE Chat) is applicable to dollar-for-dollar matching under the Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme by the Tote Board.
The purpose of the funds raised is:
– To cover the unfunded cost to CFL of bringing LIFE Training and others to the community pro – bono
– To rally community support toward suicide awareness and care.

CFL has launched a new initiative, LIFE Chat, as its new outreach program. LIFE Chat, a level 0 curriculum, is part of our ongoing effort to equip the community with skills in early prevention and early detection of suicide ideations to save lives. It comprises both offline and online engagements to impart digestible knowledge about suicide prevention and mental well-being and the right mindset to support others.
During the engagements, CFL will encourage the participants to donate and raise funds for the following: (1) To subsidize and support community members to attend CFL LIFE Training, our level 1 suicide prevention training programme, (2) To raise awareness of suicide prevention efforts (3) To support CFL’s technology and publicity needs (including the creation of websites, videos, and other content, etc) (4) To support CFL’s operational costs including but not limited to administrative and manpower costs.
Caring for Life has done good work in training the comunity. We are actively working with various demographics such as youths, seniors, grassroots, corporates, faith-based, local organizations with migrant workers.
