A group of dedicated mental health volunteers recently came together at a Chinese New Year appreciation event held in Puchong, Selangor. The gathering took place at the Counselling Education and Training Centre (CETC) operated by Life Line Association Malaysia, and was attended by its partners as well as chairman Choon Lee Meng.
During the event, Malaysian actress and ambassador Yeo Yann Yann delivered her Chinese New Year message through a special video. She expressed her appreciation for the volunteers who tirelessly serve in both day and night shifts, ensuring continuous support for individuals experiencing emotional distress.
Life Line Association Malaysia has recently expanded its counselling service hours to 19 hours daily, as part of its long-term goal to operate a 24-hour helpline. The organisation is also encouraging the public to contribute through small, recurring donations, which are eligible for tax relief.
Individuals in need of emotional support can reach the helpline at 15995, available from Monday to Saturday, 6.30am to 1.30am. The free counselling service is offered in Bahasa Malaysia, English, and Mandarin, ensuring accessibility to a wider community.
