Furthermore, IACAPAP’s website has useful resources on topics related to children and young people’s mental health issues that anyone, including parents, children, young people, or even members of the media, can access for free. We will also be distributing thought leadership articles from the IACAPAP every quarter on pertinent public youth mental health issues. We hope through knowledge sharing and imparting positive messages, we can collectively make a positive difference in people’s lives. Knowledge changes perception and shapes opinion.” Said Ms. Jennifer Kok, the Founder & CEO of Media OutReach.”

They are the future of the world, and this our vision aligns with that of IACAPAP’s. We are very certain that this partnership will bring a positive impact to the society and help to change people’s attitudes towards mental health issue. More importantly, we want parents and society to regard seeking mental health advice as just the same as going to your general practitioners.” She continued.
