EP11: We Don't Talk About It Here: Normalizing Mental Health & Why It Matters (feat. Benice Malini)

Mental health. It's not a topic that most would want to talk about over a cup of coffee when there are "interesting" things to talk about such as food, travel, or the latest celebrity gossip.

But with news reports of more Malaysians facing mental distress and committing suicide, it has become all the more important to speak about what has long been seen as a taboo in Malaysian society.

With guest and certified counsellor Benice Malini, we discuss about why mental health is often left out of daily conversations, the efforts authorities are taking to address soaring suicide rates, and how one can comfort those who have lost a loved one to a premature death by suicide.
