The Green Ribbon Group was launched recently on March 23 (2021).
It is a social enterprise that aims to give momentum to the mental health agenda in Malaysia.
One avenue that my team and I would like to specifically push for is the need to strengthen psychosocial support in communities.
This is not a new approach to mental healthcare.
The Health Ministry has worked tirelessly on this front since the early 2000s.
Its Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services offers a helpline, psychological first aid and counselling.
