On 14 November 2019, SEGi College Subang Jaya had the distinguish pleasure of hosting the Great Minds Campaign, a Sime Darby Property initiative to create mental health awareness targeting children, youths and members of the public.

The highlight of the Campaign was a Forum with the theme “Peer Support – Helping a Friend in Crisis”, which was well attended by students from our School of Psychology, all interested in how they could serve the college and community through peer support.

Our thanks to the forum panelists – Puan Anita Abu Bakar, the President and Founder of Mental Illness Awareness & Support Association (MIASA), Nurhijjah Mat Zin (Counsellor, Malaysian Mental Health Association) and Mr Daniel Alan Anthony Percival. The forum was moderated by Aida Nurdiayana Adi Yazid from MIASA.

Students were visibly touched by the honest sharings by the panelists, and were keen to know what more that they could do to reach out and help their friends who are experiencing mental stress.

We are honoured that SEGi College Subang Jaya has been selected to be one of the hosts for this meaningful event.
