@channelnewsasia: John's parents thought they were finally turning a corner. After 1.5 years of isolation, "John" had started joining them for meals and responding in small ways. Then, without warning, he stopped coming out again. For two weeks, his parents waited for any sign that he was ready to emerge. Social worker Rauf Malachi Redza Fauzi, who has been supporting the family for nearly a year, says setbacks can be especially difficult after signs of progress. "It is a setback because there was progress. It can be tiring. It can take a toll." Shutdown gains rare access to four teenagers in Singapore navigating social withdrawal, and the families and social workers trying to help them find a way back.

Progress is not linear, any positive sign is a great sign

Hi Mr Chuah, I was one of your students many years ago. You probably don’t remember me, but I’ve never forgotten your kindness. I remember one day when I was alone in the toilet, crying, shouting, and banging the door because I was so upset after being treated badly by some classmates. You happened to hear me, and instead of scolding me or telling me to just get over it, you spoke to me with patience and understanding. At a time when I felt hurt and alone, that meant more than you probably realized. Seeing the love, patience, and dedication you’re showing your son now doesn’t surprise me at all. It’s the same kindness I remember from all those years ago. Thank you for being the kind of teacher who truly cared. Wishing you and your family strength and brighter days ahead. ❤️
