A key highlight was the presentation of a regional resolution led by Dr. Sharifah Intan , which will be submitted to the ASEAN Secretariat to support ongoing efforts in youth mental health development.

The day concluded with an engaging SBCC session led by Dr. Diyana N. Kasimon , followed by an interactive and reflective Jenga activity facilitated by Ms. Syafika Mohd Ghazi Ghazi alongside dedicated youth facilitators Mahmud Ridzwan Bin Rasali, Sara, and Nur Ain Fatini binti Nor Azam.

Here’s a recap of the SBC TTT Train the Trainer Workshop, organized by UPM-UNICEF C4D, held on October 11-12, 2024. The workshop brought together a diverse group of professionals, including doctors, pharmacist, social workers, and change advocates, to deepen their knowledge and skills in Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC).

Throughout the workshop, participants enhanced their understanding of SBCC concepts and frameworks, gaining valuable insights into a systematic, evidence-based approach for effective SBC application. They also learned practical tools and methods for integrating SBCC into community outreach and program planning. By the end, they were equipped to develop program plans rooted in the SBCC framework, aimed at driving meaningful community change.

A successful step forward in building stronger, more impactful SBC initiatives!
