Movembros: Supporting Malaysian Mental Health are fundraising for Relate Mental Health Malaysia

Help us by spreading the word on mental health awareness, especially in Malaysia. We are supporting a not-for-profit organisation called Relate Malaysia. Their goal is to improve the awareness and availability of education of mental health to the Malaysian public, with an aim to destigmatise the topic.

My Story

We're just five guys from Malaysia, looking to (try) grow the most lush moustaches for a worthy Movember cause: Mental Health. Particularly during this phase of collective hardship, it's also a time where awareness surrounding self-reflection and self-care is at an all time high. We have come together to experience and contribute to a serious, yet stigmatised, aspect of medical science that has been undervalued in Malaysian society. 

Personally, we have all experienced various degrees of depression and anxiety amongst our family, friends and even within ourselves. For the male gender in particular, it is a social expectation to "brush" it off and "man up" - a dangerous response. And thus, in most cases, we internalise this and the proper or sufficient treatment is never sought.

It is our hope that our small collective contribution in this sub-sector of medicine sparks even a modicum of interest and focus. It's our privilege and honour to support Relate and their efforts to drive the conversation about Mental Health.

As we journey through this, we'll be sharing more and more about mental health, and with a stronger sense of how we can address the issues surrounding it. Hope you join us - please do share this around. 

The funds will be targeted to support Relate's community subsidised psychotherapy services. We will be keeping in touch with them and keep you updated on a regular basis.

Much love,
Ariff, Haris, Kaiza, Seth and Sul
