WHO QualityRights training now available in Bahasa Malaysia

Access to rights-based mental health training in Malaysia just got easier.

The World Health Organization QualityRights e-training on mental health, recovery and community inclusion is now available in Bahasa Malaysia, expanding access to this important learning resource for communities across the country. Empowering a community based and empowered approach to addressing the challenges of mental health is important as we explore solutions to the mental health issues faced by communities in Malaysia.

^{The QualityRights e-training is now available in Bahasa Malaysia, supporting national efforts to strengthen rights-based approaches in mental health care}

Developed under WHO’s QualityRights initiative, the training aims to improve the quality of care in mental health services while promoting and protecting the rights of people with psychosocial, intellectual and cognitive disabilities.

The interactive online course covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Understanding mental health and well-being
• Supporting friends, family and colleagues
• Tackling stigma, discrimination and coercion
• Promoting recovery and community inclusion 

Designed for a broad audience, including health professionals, policymakers, educators, civil society and people with lived experience, the training equips learners with practical knowledge to support a more person-centred, rights-based approach to mental health.

^{Interactive modules provide practical guidance to advance person-centred care, reduce stigma and align mental health services with human rights standards.}

By making the course available in Bahasa Malaysia, WHO aims to strengthen local capacity, empower communities and support ongoing efforts to transform mental health systems in line with human rights standards.

The course is free and accessible online through the WHO Academy platform and will recognise the participant who completes the course with a certificate.
