Johnson & Johnson’s Global Community Impact is focused on supporting and championing the people on the frontlines who are at the heart of delivering care. In 2023, J&J’s Malaysia Community Impact (MCI continued our efforts in reaching out to those in need with our Dear Self, How Are You? Mental Health Program with Mercy Malaysia. In the 6-month program, 31 J&J employees participated in 2 workshops to be trained as Mental Health trainers, subsequently training 306 refugee/stateless children and adolescents over 10 workshops held across Malaysia on mental health awareness and coping skills. There was up to 33.2% increase in knowledge score on mental health and stress management by the children, with positive feedback from the participants.
MCI continued collaboration with SESO during Ramadhan, where 30 employees were engaged for Raya Cookies for a Cause, a cookie baking and decorating workshop with orphans. The week-long workshops created bonding opportunities for the volunteers and orphans, with shared joy of creating memorable experience for all. The second part of the initiative included distribution of the 115 boxes of cookies baked to 1 education center for refugees, 2 orphanages and 30 households of the B40 community. 3 employees with SESO held a simple Raya party during the distribution which included music and dance to support the children’s methods in using music as a stress-coping mechanism.
MCI will also be holding a Christmas celebration called the Music Heals the Soul Concert, where J&J employees and children from orphanages/refugee homes will be putting up a series of performances to emphasize on healthy ways to cope with stress. This serves as a continuation of 2022’s Christmas for A Cause Initiative and to conclude the Mental Health Program with Mercy Malaysia.
