MRC and Amanie Care Foundation unite for change

A groundbreaking moment occurred during the symposium when the Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) and Amanie Care Foundation signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on mental health. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to revolutionizing mental health care in Malaysian communities. The collaborative effort aims to enhance mental health services, reduce stigma, and promote overall well-being.

The Mental Health and Psychosocial Support team of MRC was part of ACMHS 2024, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to mental health care. The event provided a platform for professionals and advocates to exchange ideas, share best practices, and contribute to the ongoing efforts to prioritize mental well-being in Malaysia.

As mental health continues to be a crucial aspect of overall health and productivity, events like ACMHS 2024 play a pivotal role in raising awareness, fostering collaboration, and driving positive change in mental health care practices. The symposium reflects a shared commitment to building a mentally resilient society and promoting the well-being of individuals in both professional and community settings.
