PARTNERS OF RELATE
Hannah Yeoh
SPEAKER OF THE SELANGOR STATE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLYThe current Speaker and a member of the Selangor State Assembly from the Democratic Action Party (DAP).
I hope Relate can spark off the conversation about mental health in Malaysia, removing the stigma and enabling suffering families to come out of shame, knowing they have Relate to guide them as they begin to take the first step.

Relate Malaysia is about shining a light in the shadows! It's about empowering people to make their lives better! I hope it continues to make psychology more accessible and destigmatize it!!
As a clinical psychologist, I love the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives! I love how every client is so different, and every day is a new challenge! I love how it forces me to be better, so I can be the best psychologist possible for my clients.

Relate means a community of courage. Mental health conversations are about having the bravery to share stories. I am proud to be part of a movement that promotes openness and honesty.
As a clinical psychologist, I try to find the space where a person feels the most safe, centred, accepted, valued, and respected; and develop the best ways to protect that space. It means listening and learning.

I am excited to be part of Relate, which I hope will help educate the Malaysian public about the importance of taking good care of their own mental health and that of their loved ones. With the resources and community that Relate is building, we hope that more people come to terms with their own mental health issues and realise they are not alone in this journey. Finally, the experiences will help us to advocate for better mental health policy to provide even more support for Malaysians and their families. Ultimately, I hope Relate helps the country and its people to live life free.

Relate Malaysia is much needed and valuable resource as mental health statistics rise and access to mental health treatments are scarce. One's mental well being is just as important as physical health. Let's have the courage to speak out and step up to embracing a culture of supporting people with mental health challenges.
