In recent years, mental health issues have become a major global concern. The World Health Organization (WHO) has pointed out that mental health problems are increasingly affecting younger individuals, making it urgent to address students’ emotional distress, stress management, and psychological well-being. However, in reality, many students and parents lack proper awareness of psychological education, and some even have misconceptions about psychological counseling, leading to students’ mental health needs not being effectively addressed in a timely manner.

In response to this, the Malaysian Buddhist Youth Association (MBYA) has been actively promoting social care initiatives since 2012, aiming to provide psychological support to the public, especially students, through diverse approaches. From Walking Through the Valley to The Happy Life, we continue to explore ways to integrate psychology, life education, interpersonal communication skills, and counseling services to help students build a positive self-identity, develop a well-rounded personality, and strengthen psychological resilience in facing life challenges.

Against this backdrop, The Happy Life Melaka Tour Seminar was launched. By visiting various schools, we aim to present mental health knowledge in an engaging and interactive manner, allowing students to learn in a relaxed atmosphere. The seminar covers effective emotional management techniques, communication skills, and positive thinking. Additionally, we hope to raise public awareness of students’ psychological development and encourage schools, families, and society to work together in creating a healthier and more supportive growth environment.
