In 2023, we started a Student Wellness Program to educate our students on topics related to their adolescent growth and development, about cultivating healthy well-being outside of their academic studies, focusing on physical, emotional, and mental health. These topics include Friendship and Conflict, Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, Emotional Regulation, and so on. For topics that are out of the expertise of our team, we partner with external organisations, volunteers, and individuals to deliver the workshop to the students.

Besides that, we expanded our Wellness Programme to the community level. We partnered with FREHA, an NGO specialising in sexual reproductive health, to
deliver a series of workshops to Rohingya and Afghan ladies in Ampang. More workshops are also planned for the Rohingya and Indonesian communities in
Klang. Topics covered include Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights, Unplanned Pregnancies and Contraceptives, and Breast and Cervical Cancer. This
programme aims to equip women with knowledge to better care for and protect themselves. At the same time, these workshops serve as safe spaces for
women to voice out the issues they face and obtain holistic support, including follow-up counselling and medical consultation and treatment.
