Introduction to MindFlu and its foundation

MindFlu first started out as a project developed by university students serving the community, mainly the youth and mental well-being community. Essentially, MindFlu is a youth initiative that bridges the society with the mental well-being community. There may be a number of mental health associations in Malaysia but it’s devoid of youth initiatives.

As such, our main component would be youths helping to spread awareness to other youths and the community.

In Malaysia, mental health is a rarely discussed topic so many are unaware of the importance of mental well-being with a vast majority believing that mental illnesses do not exist. MindFlu plays a crucial role, especially among youths, in putting a halt to the existing stigma revolving around people with mental afflictions. By involving the youth, they could bring Malaysia forward in the movement of well-being advocacy. Through workshops, programmes and activities that MindFlu has held and will hold, we hope to get the youths started on mental health discussion and realize its relevance instead of brushing it off.
