Ms Rebecca Loh
Hear how Rebecca Loh overcame an eating disorder through community support. She now advocates for mental health as a support group facilitator and counselling student.

Rebecca Loh is a member of CAL’s Circles of Resilience support group programme which helps her manage an eating disorder.
In secondary school, Rebecca’s relationship with food took a drastic turn, when she started picking at her food and counting calories. Exercising excessively, she found herself getting cold easily, slower, less agile and more easily tired. Unable to cope with the impending examinations, she eventually applied for a leave of absence from school. Seeking a supportive community, Rebecca joined a Support Group CR where she found comfort in shared experiences. Week by week, she opened up about her struggles, realising that speaking up not only helped her heal but also encouraged others to seek support. Through the programme, she built meaningful friendships and regained the confidence to move forward. Now a support group facilitator, Rebecca enjoys advocating for mental health and is also pursuing a master’s in counselling. Her journey is testament to the power of community support in mental health recovery.
