Kuching, Sarawak – July 2025

In response to the growing need for mental health support in schools, OAPTAR and ISSUP Malaysia in collaboration with the Sarawak State Health Department and the District Education Office, conducted a two-day capacity-building workshop titled “Strengthening Mental Health Support Skills for Teachers and Counsellors."

In partnership with local leaders and frontline professionals, the Organization for Addiction Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation (OAPTAR) and ISSUP Malaysia has successfully implemented a community-based Family Program in rural Sarawak, Malaysia. This initiative is grounded in evidence-based principles to strengthen family bonds, build resilience, and prevent substance use among adolescents.

Since 2018, the Drug Policy Program Malaysia has led a vital movement toward drug policy reform through sustained advocacy efforts involving Ministers, Members of Parliament, and media stakeholders. Their vision is clear: Malaysia’s drug policy must evolve in step with current scientific understanding of drug use and dependence.
