Minister of Women, Family & Community Development Rina Harun recently said that LPPKN will expand men's wellness services, if there is good response to a pilot project at Dungun Klinik Nur Sejahtera, which will be providing specialised services for men in the community. This project will include psychosocial assistance for men, following findings that more than 20,000 men sought counselling from LPPKN from 2019 till June this year, for various issues ranging from spousal and family problems, to financial issues. We explore what men’s wellness services should look like, and how to encourage more men to take control of their health.
