MHPSS Infographic - Strengthening Mental Health And Psychosocial Support Systems And Services For Children And Adolescents In East Asia And Pacific Region: Malaysia Country Report 2022
The document outlines recommendations to strengthen mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) systems and services for children and adolescents in the East Asia and Pacific region. It identifies three packages of priority actions: 1) Accessible and responsive services for mental health conditions, 2) Prevention of mental health conditions in the immediate social context, and 3) Mental health promotion through an enabling and safe environment. For each package, it recommends priority actions in the short term (2 years), midterm (2-5 years), and long term (5 years). It also identifies the leading and supporting roles and responsibilities of different sectors including health, education, social welfare, and justice.
The mental health of children and adolescents aged 0–18 years is one of the most neglected health issues globally. To address the mental health and psychosocial well-being of children and adolescents, there is a need for a holistic and tiered approach to MHPSS. This report documents the application of the conceptual framework in Malaysia and provides country specific recommendations for strengthening the provision of MHPSS for children and adolescents.
The document provides an overview of the public health model (PHM). It defines public health and explains that public health aims to provide conditions for population-level health as opposed to focusing only on individual patients or diseases. It then defines the PHM as a model that comprehensively addresses health or social problems by considering human and environmental factors and identifying causes to suggest interventions. Key aspects of the PHM are that it takes a population-level approach and focuses on prevention, promotion, surveillance and service evaluation in addition to traditional areas like diagnosis and treatment. Examples of applying the PHM to violence prevention and child welfare services are also provided.

Psychiatric social work applies social work methods and practices in psychiatry settings. It is both a science and an art that treats patients through psychological and social means as psychiatric illness can disturb social conditions. Early psychiatric social workers collected case histories and acted as intermediaries between patients and families. Over time, psychiatric social work developed as a distinct profession with roles in hospitals, the military, and creating public awareness of mental health issues. In India, psychiatric social work began in 1937 with child guidance clinics and has since expanded, with specialized training beginning in the 1950s. Social work methods like casework, group work, and community organization are important in psychiatric services to help patients and families adjust.

Hertfordshire County Council adopted a whole systems approach to population mental health in October 2016 to better promote prevention. This approach was informed by 20 "must dos" like good parenting, school mental health programs, adult resilience training, and reducing loneliness.

1) The document provides recommendations for counties to improve and expand infant and early childhood mental health services. It encourages training professionals on social-emotional development, implementing universal screenings of young children, and developing coordinated, integrated systems of care across agencies.
2) Recommendations include increasing public awareness, screening children ages 0-5 for risks, and providing family-focused treatment using evidence-based practices. Services should be culturally sensitive and address the child's overall development.
3) Funding streams like EPSDT often require symptoms meet "medical necessity" thresholds before services can be billed. The report suggests using alternative diagnostic tools and combining funding sources to serve more children.
This document discusses mental health as a global priority and outlines reasons for investing in mental healthcare. It finds that up to 10% of people worldwide are affected by mental health problems, which represent the 5th leading cause of disease burden globally when measured in disability-adjusted life years. However, most low- and middle-income countries allocate less than 2% of their health budgets to mental health. Compelling reasons to invest in mental healthcare include promoting human rights, reducing human and economic costs, and implementing cost-effective treatment solutions that already exist.

The United Healthcare Silver Compass H.S.A. 3600 plan is classified as a HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan. HMO plans require members to use in-network providers for all non-emergency care.

Using out-of-network providers typically results in no coverage, except in emergencies. This plan's network structure and requirement to designate a PCP are characteristics of an HMO plan.

A service like the Flying Doctor Service that reaches the ‘unreached’ community is essential and a Lifeline to our Orang Asli people.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
