HISTORY OF MMHA

The Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA) was founded by faculty members of the
Department of Psychology Medicine, Medical Faculty, University Malaya. It was initiated by Prof.
N.N. Wagner (US) Acting Head of the Department at its first meeting on 5th October 1967. Two
others who played a significant role in laying the groundwork for the establishment of MMHA were
Prof. Tan Eng Seong who took over as the Head of Psychological Medicine Department, as well as
Ms. P.C. Sushama, the Chief Medical Social Worker in University Hospital.
MMHA was officially registered on 30th July 1968 under the Societies Act 1966. Tun V.T.
Sambanthan, the then Minister of Works, Posts and Telecommunications, was elected its first
President at its inaugural meeting on 18th September 1968.

The initial idea of forming MMHA was to provide community support for those recovering from
mental illness as well as to promote better mental health awareness through public education.
MMHA has since moved on to providing various psychological support services, mental health
education and training, caregiver and peer support, psychosocial rehabilitation and residential
service as well as a strong advocate for mental health in the country.

ONLINE MENTAL HEALTH TEST

Would you like to have a mental health assessment for you or
someone you know, but not ready to talk to someone yet?

There are online screening tools that can give you a snapshot of
your mental health. The test only takes a few minutes with
complete privacy and instant results.

Only a licensed mental-health practitioner or doctor can properly
diagnose mental health conditions. However, these online
assessments can be a valuable first step toward getting treatment.

Go the website to begin your mental health test, provided by Mental
Health America (MHA).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Online screening tools are meant to be a quick
snapshot of your mental health. If your results indicate you may be
experiencing symptoms of a mental illness, consider sharing your results
with someone. A mental health provider (such as a doctor or a therapist)
can give you a full assessment and talk to you about options for how to
feel better.

You may also contact us at +603 2780 6803 (Mon.-Fri. 9am-5pm,
except public holidays) or send us a message.
