Hello!

I'm Haikel and I'm the Founder of Psychosocial Support Community. As an adult educator, I was training learners in Psychological First Aid when I realised many of them consumed mental health information via social media and the internet but they are unsure which are validated and which are not. It spurred me to create a psychologically safe space where like-minded psychosocial support recipients, learners, practitioners, and educators can exchange ideas, experiences, and support without being judged.

It started out in January 2019 where I personally vet mental health and psychosocial support psychoeducational materials on social media and reshare materials that I have validated based on my professional training and background in mental health, psychosocial support, counselling psychology, applied positive psychology, social work, and nursing with hopes that people have access to safe and validated psychoeducational information.

To date, with the support of fellow psychosocial support enthusiasts, we have grown to provide the following professional pro bono services:

• Advice and consultancy on mental health and psychosocial support

• Mentorship and supervision for psychosocial support educators

• Advice and guidance for psychosocial support practitioners

• Mental health & psychosocial support needs and resources mapping

• Psychosocial needs analysis

• Development of psychosocial interventions

• Psychoeducational webinars and videos

• Psychosocial support activities

• Psychological first aid training

• Counselling services

I believe no one or agency should be denied access to mental health and psychosocial support services. If you are an organisation interested in our services, please don't hesitate to contact me and we may discuss further to understand your needs and how best we can support you. Depending on your needs and circumstances, you may be eligible for our services on a pro bono basis or be charged fees on a sliding scale.

If you and your loved ones have been personally impacted by our services or you simply believe in our cause and would like to support us, please consider buying me a Teh Tarik (milk tea) or more. Each cup of Teh Tarik will remind me that there are people who want and need these services, and it will motivate me to continue doing this work in my free time. I sincerely appreciate your kind gesture.

With love and kindness, thank you!
