Mind Matters: How Professionals Are Transforming Mental Health Conversations

Childhood experiences aren’t always nostalgic pictures in a photo album. Many issues in our childhood can also be painful, difficult or coloured by conflict. These Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) may shape our future - our health, psychological and social outcomes - but trauma-informed care by healthcare providers and communities can support individuals and families in mitigating the impact of these ACEs.

We speak to Lee Ee Jing from Thrive Well about how their BRACE programme helps professionals from the social sector to understand the lasting effects of ACEs in the communities they serve, and to Raynuha Mahadevan, Lecturer & Clinical Psychologist from Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, to find out how this knowledge is applied in her work beyond the workshops.
