Caring for Ourselves, Caring for Others
Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a vital skill that helps reduce distress and support emotional recovery after crises. Recognising this, MERCY Malaysia’s Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services (MHPSS) team recently conducted a PFA Training for our dedicated staff and volunteers at the Headquarters.
The training aimed to strengthen our ability to offer calm and compassionate support to individuals affected by disasters, outbreaks or conflict, while also reminding us of the importance of self-care. When we care for ourselves, we are better prepared to care for others. 💙
Together, we continue to build a culture of empathy, resilience and care for our families, friends and the communities we serve.

Kg. Layak-Layak di Pitas, Sabah merupakan kediaman kepada kira-kira 300 penduduk daripada komuniti Bajau dan Rungus. Kehidupan harian mereka bergantung kepada aktiviti nelayan, pertanian, dan penanaman sawit skala kecil, dengan akses kepada kemudahan kesihatan yang terhad.
MERCY Malaysia terus berusaha memastikan komuniti ini mendapat perkhidmatan kesihatan di peringkat komuniti, dari promosi kesihatan hingga pemeriksaan awal penyakit kronik. Usaha ini bukan sahaja meningkatkan kesedaran, malah memudahkan akses kepada rawatan bagi mereka yang jauh dari klinik atau hospital.
"Kesihatan adalah hak setiap insan. Dengan sokongan berterusan, kami berharap setiap keluarga di Kg. Layak-Layak dapat menjalani kehidupan yang lebih sihat dan sejahtera," kata Edna Salumbi, Pegawai Program Kanan, Cawangan Sabah.
Bersama-sama, kita boleh membina komuniti yang lebih kuat, sihat, dan berdaya tahan.

Air bersih. Komuniti selamat. Masa depan yang lebih cerah. 💧
Di Kampung Ilir dan Kampung Tenggang Punda, Sarawak, komuniti tempatan berkongsi pengalaman mereka tentang akses air bersih, cabaran penyelenggaraan serta penyelesaian yang mereka usahakan sendiri semasa Sesi Perbincangan Kumpulan (FGD) baru-baru ini.
Suara mereka menjadi panduan penting untuk fasa seterusnya Program WASH MERCY Malaysia untuk memastikan setiap intervensi yang dijalankan lestari, dipimpin oleh komuniti, dan berasaskan maruah insan.
Dengan sokongan Malaysia-UN SDG Trust Fund, kami terus berusaha memperkukuh sistem air, menambah baik sanitasi, dan membawa akses air bersih kepada semua - tanpa ada yang tercicir.

Symposium on Mental Health & Psychosocial Support in Humanitarian Settings
“Building Resilient Communities Through Effective MHPSS in Humanitarian Action”
Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) is a cornerstone of humanitarian response, helping individuals, families, and communities recover, rebuild, and thrive in the aftermath of crisis.
For over two decades, MERCY Malaysia has been at the forefront of integrating MHPSS into humanitarian action, ensuring that care, compassion, and community resilience go hand in hand. From disaster response to refugee support and community health programmes, MHPSS has been a key part of our mission to care for those affected by hardship.
Held yesterday in conjunction with World Mental Health Month, the symposium brought together professionals, volunteers, and advocates to share knowledge and strengthen collaboration in humanitarian MHPSS. The discussions highlighted the importance of collective effort in supporting psychosocial wellbeing and building stronger, more resilient communities.
Thank you to all participants for your meaningful contributions and commitment.
Together, we continue to promote hope, healing, and resilience in humanitarian action.

Over the past 24 hours, the northern states of Perak, Kedah, and Penang have experienced widespread flooding, forcing more than 5,000 people from their homes. In Perak, the situation is particularly severe, with nearly 1,000 families evacuated to 26 temporary relief centres. Rising water levels in Kedah and Penang have also forced hundreds of families to seek safety as heavy rain continues.
Among those affected are women, children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, who face increased health and protection risks in temporary shelters. Continuous rainfall has also made it difficult for communities to access essential services and begin recovery efforts.
Over the past few months, MERCY Malaysia has been strengthening its preparedness efforts to ensure that our teams and partners are ready to respond when emergencies strike. Through our Disaster Risk Reduction and Management efforts, including the School Preparedness Programme and Community-Based Disaster Risk Management activities, we continue working to build safer and more resilient communities.
MERCY Malaysia is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to provide updates on the flood situation in these states from time to time.
