Guest: Nur Arfah Zaini, Licensed & Registered Counsellor and Clinical Psychologist
1 in 8 adolescents in Malaysia have had suicidal thoughts while 1 in 10 adolescents have attempted suicide. Those are some of the concerning statistics that have been revealed by the latest National Health & Morbidity Survey 2022, which focuses on adolescent health. On this month’s Mind Matters series, we speak to Nur Arfah Zaini, who is both a clinical psychologist as well as a licensed & registered counsellor, to discuss what the data in the survey tells about the burden of mental health issues among adolescents and how we can better support them in school and at home.
