Pada 2/8/2025 – , satu sesi ceramah berkenaan Pengurusan Kesihatan Mental telah berjaya diadakan di IKBN Miri khusus untuk para pegawai, tenaga pengajar, dan kakitangan pentadbiran. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesedaran serta kefahaman mengenai kepentingan kesihatan mental dalam persekitaran kerja, terutamanya dalam konteks tanggungjawab mendidik dan mengurus institusi latihan kemahiran.

Ceramah ini telah mengetengahkan pelbagai aspek penting seperti pengenalpastian tanda-tanda awal tekanan mental, teknik pengurusan emosi, strategi menghadapi stres, dan kepentingan sokongan sosial dalam membentuk keseimbangan hidup yang lebih sihat dan produktif. Ia juga menjadi ruang refleksi buat warga kerja IKBN untuk lebih peka terhadap kesejahteraan mental diri sendiri dan rakan sekerja.

Kesihatan mental adalah asas kepada prestasi kerja yang baik dan hubungan profesional yang harmoni. Semoga sesi seperti ini dapat diteruskan secara berkala demi memupuk budaya kerja yang lebih sihat, inklusif dan saling menyokong.

Setinggi-tinggi penghargaan kepada penceramah jemputan serta semua yang terlibat dalam menjayakan program ini.

Hello, Mentari Miri Community! 🌻

🌿Sending you a little reminder today 🌿

💙 It's okay to take a break.
💙 It's okay to ask for help.
💙 It's okay to not be okay.

Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health. Take time today to check in with yourself:

✅ Have you eaten something nutritious?
✅ Have you had enough water?
✅ Have you taken a deep breath and relaxed?
✅ Have you connected with someone you trust?

Small acts of self-care can make a big difference.
