Game Changer Talk Show
Game Changer: Transforming Communities for Inclusion
We recognize that the ongoing effort to foster understanding and awareness about mental health and related issues must be continuous and without end. In line with our objective to cultivate widespread awareness of the importance of mental well-being and to address public perceptions and misconceptions surrounding mental health issues and mental illness, we present another program to further this vital journey: Game Changer.
Game Changer is a talk show featuring figures from various related fields as our invited guests. The President of MIASA Malaysia, Puan Anita Abu Bakar, with her extensive experience, will take the role of host, and this will surely make the talk show more critical and inclusive to present to all Malaysians.
Game Changer is broadcast through MIASA Malaysia’s Facebook and YouTube social media channels starting from December 25, 2022, at 8:30 p.m. With this effort we are undertaking, we hope for your support by watching this show; indirectly, you will be giving support to those who are struggling with issues related to mental health.
