Love yourself!
help others!

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to health threats, loss of loved ones, loss of income and movement control.

In this regard, the Ministry of Health Malaysia has launched the Let's TALK Healthy Minds Media Campaign which is implemented in line with the Mental Health Publicity Plan under the National Agenda of Healthy Malaysia (ANMS). The first phase of the campaign is focused on teenagers and working adults.

Mental health awareness helps people understand that mental illness is NOT a character flaw but rather an illness like any other. Research shows that when people have better knowledge about different types of mental illness, they are significantly less likely to hold discriminatory views towards those suffering from mental illnesses.
