Happy Father’s Day to all fathers around the world, and Happy Men’s Mental Health Month. 💙 Anak-anak perantauan, kitak ada ngabas bapak kitak s*k?
Kisahnya, few weeks ago, we were honoured to be invited by Majlis Perbandaran Padawan to facilitate a Pause, Rest & Reset programme for 60 of their male officers.
Throughout the sessions, we discovered that one of their biggest challenges was processing emotions, thoughts, and the physiological impact of stress while finding safe ways to express themselves. Many shared how difficult it is to detach from problems, often leaving them stuck in the same cycle of stress and overthinking.
What struck us most was realizing that these struggles are not new. For many men, they have been carried quietly across generations. As we continue transitioning into a rapidly changing world shaped by smartphones, constant connectivity, and Artificial Intelligence, perhaps it is also time for us to relearn how to pause, reconnect, and care for our inner well-being.
The experience was truly beautiful. The engagement was genuine, the conversations were meaningful, and the energy in the room was unforgettable. 🥹
They loved chocolates just like many of our fathers do at home. They were supportive, open, thoughtful, and incredibly funny too. Moments like these remind us that behind every role, uniform, and responsibility is a human being who deserves space to rest, reflect, and be heard.
Thank you, Majlis Perbandaran Padawan, for having us and for creating a space where these conversations could happen.
Semoga semua bapa dan lelaki sentiasa diberikan kesihatan, kekuatan, dan ketenangan.
Happy Father’s Day and Happy Men’s Mental Health Month. 💙
Iboh jerak. ✨
