The COVID-19 Pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health and relationships of people in Malaysia. In partnership with WHO, SEACO at Monash University developed a digital health intervention (WhatsApp-based and group-based) that enables users to communicate with peers who share similar concerns with some guided activities and dialogues. The programme was designed to support socially isolated individuals at high-risk of developing mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, during the Pandemic. The intervention used a culturally-adapted approach, optimizing the role of community health workers in engaging individuals through digital means, and aided in understanding the dynamics of mental health during the Pandemic. The research found that being in a community and strengthened relationships can help people cope with future public health crises on mental health, particularly in Southeast Asia.
