World Mental Health Day | Workplace Mental Health and Well-being Support Malaysia

 

Let's celebrate World Mental Health Day! This year's theme is Mental Health in the Workplace. Yes, it is time to prioritize mental health in the workplace! New Mind Brain Health Centre’s services align with the theme of World Mental Health Day and support mental health through primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies in several key ways:

Promoting Workplace Mental Health and Well-being (Primary Prevention)

The theme emphasizes the connection between mental health and work environments, calling for workplaces to be safe and supportive of mental health. New Mind Brain Health Centre’s focus on unconscious processes, applied neuroscience, trauma-informed hypnotherapy, and psychoeducation for achieving peak performance contributes directly to maintaining and enhancing employee well-being. This approach aligns with primary prevention by promoting mental wellness and preventing the onset of mental health issues through proactive measures that reduce workplace stress and mental health risks.

Preventive Mental Health Measures (Primary and Secondary Prevention)

The WHO message calls for preventive actions in the workplace to protect mental health and prevent crises. New Mind Brain Health Centre offers preventive services such as stress management workshops, neurofeedback training, and burnout prevention. These initiatives not only serve as primary prevention (promoting mental wellness and preventing mental health issues before they arise) but also act as secondary prevention, helping to detect early signs of stress and burnout. By addressing these issues before they escalate, organizations can intervene early, mitigating the risk of more serious mental health problems.

Supporting Stress and Emotional Wellness (Secondary and Tertiary Prevention)

Addressing poor mental health in the workplace, as mentioned in the WHO guidelines, includes focusing on factors such as stress, burnout, and emotional regulation. New Mind’s Hypnobath sessions, neurofeedback therapy, and self-hypnosis training offer secondary prevention interventions that help individuals manage emerging mental health challenges, such as stress and emotional dysregulation. Additionally, these services serve as tertiary prevention by supporting individuals who may already be experiencing mental health issues, offering them strategies to manage their conditions and prevent further deterioration, thereby promoting recovery and resilience.

Holistic Interventions for Mental Health (Tertiary Prevention)

The Centre’s integration of neurofeedback, biofeedback, psychoeducation, training, and hypnotherapy provides holistic care that fosters emotional, mental, and physical well-being. We collaborate closely with psychiatrists, in-house registered counselors, in-house neurofeedback trainers, and AHPM-registered hypnotherapists to offer comprehensive workplace mental health wellness support. This collaborative approach supports tertiary prevention by helping individuals manage ongoing mental health conditions, reduce the impact of chronic stress or emotional disorders, and prevent relapse. These interventions are crucial for maintaining long-term mental health and enhancing workplace productivity and resilience, even for those with existing mental health concerns.

Workplace Workshops and Training (Primary and Secondary Prevention)

The WHO guidance encourages training managers and employees on mental health issues. New Mind Brain Health Centre’s workshops, covering topics like occupational health psychology psychoeducation, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness for emotional wellness and brain health, align with primary prevention by promoting awareness and mental health literacy. They also serve as secondary prevention by equipping employees and managers with tools to identify early signs of mental health challenges and take appropriate action to support their well-being within the workplace.
