Session #1: 2.00PM - 3.30PM
THE DILEMMA ON MENTAL HEALTH
Moderated by Aspadiyah Mohd Sah
Mental health is one of the most neglected areas of health globally - this was true before COVID-19, but the pandemic has further exacerbated the status of mental health. Building resilience requires a paradigm shift in and acknowledgement that mental health problems and issues are the new realities and must be proactively addressed through “whole of society approach,” with community-based involvement, along with education and resources.
The first series of the forum will focus on deciphering the realities of mental health facing our youth and share insights on how youth can develop the skills to be resilient.

SKILLS FOR RESILIENT YOUTH
Moderated by Fatin Arifin
Our youth today are living through an unprecedented global crisis. COVID-19 is forcing students out of the classrooms; forcing entrepreneurs out of businesses and forcing youth out of jobs with no clear end in sight. The devastation of the pandemic — millions of deaths, economic strife and curbs on social interaction — has already had a marked effect on people’s mental health. There is no doubt that young people are the most affected by the crisis which has brought rise to anxiety and depression which may take years to recover from. It is ever more important to help young people to develop resilience to face the challenges and adapt to changes brought by the pandemic. The session shall discuss skills that youth can develop to be resilient.
