Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA)
The Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA) is a non-profit Non-Government Organisation registered under the Societies Act 1966 MMHA is managed by an elected committee of interested persons and professionals in the community, including caregivers of persons living with mental disorders.
We envisioned a nation where mental health is valued and people with mental health problems are supported and live fulfilling lives without stigma and discrimination. MMHA desires to promote mental well-being in the community and support people with mental health problems and their caregivers through support service provision, education, training, research, and advocacy.
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.

MY Psychology, Malaysia 1st Psychology Educational Platform is officially launched on the 11th of January, 2014 to increase psychological literacy in the Malaysian public, to use the power of the internet to raise the awareness not just towards mental health issues, but to general knowledge of psychological concepts as well.

About MY Psychology
What drove us is a singular passion to bring the school to the audience, instead of the audience to the school. At the time of our founding, there aren’t many content creators out there that aimed towards such a goal, especially in Malaysia (or much of South East Asia), and in recent years we saw a huge influx in pages with a similar goal as ours, that of making psychology as part of our daily life, not just some obscure mystical knowledge is written in sacred tomes.
​
It is, as our motto states: to learn, share, and apply.
It is to make psychology everyday. “MY Psychology”, named not only because “MY” is short for “Malaysia”, but also literally my psychology. It is our pleasure to be part of such a fruitful journey, and we can only hope to travel further down this path, as to see what in our doubtful moments thought of as self-indulgence, transform gradually into this momentous goal of becoming an educational platform, it is a joy we have never dream of before. Once again, thank you for all the support, in the past and in the future to come. We couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you.
