Mind Matters: Mental Health Goes Beyond Healthcare

Mind Matters: Mental Health Goes Beyond Healthcare

In conjunction with World Mental Health Day in October, we explore a broader perspective to mental health, challenging the notion that mental healthcare is limited to services provided within the health system. Special guest Dr Ahmed Hankir, psychiatrist with the NHS and recipient of the WHO Director-General's Global Health Leaders Award 2022, joins Ellisha Othman, Managing Director of Thrive Well, to explore how a trauma-informed approach in social services can improve inclusion, diversity and mental health on a daily basis, and how Dr Hankir uses his experience as a wounded healer to fight the stigma against mental health. Dr Hankir is also the author of the recently published ‘Breakthrough: A Story of Hope, Resilience and Mental Health Recovery’, and will be speaking at the International Stigma Conference 2024 in KL from 23-24 November, organised by MIASA Malaysia.
