WORKPLACE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS: BUILDING A SUPPOORTIVE CULTURE

Why workplace mental health awareness matters

Workplace Mental Health Awareness: Building a Supportive Culture training is a practical and awareness-driven programme designed to help organisations in Malaysia recognise mental health challenges, reduce stigma, and build a psychologically safe workplace.
