How You Can Help

Two people in a therapy session

MENTARI Bintulu, a service managed by the Psychiatry Department at Hospital Bintulu, is driven by a small but dedicated team. To achieve our mission of fostering mental wellness in our community, we rely on the partnership and support of compassionate individuals and organizations like you. Your involvement, big or small, can make a profound difference.

Our Most Urgent Need: A Home for MENTARI Bintulu

Our greatest challenge is securing a dedicated physical space for our centre outside of the hospital. A permanent, welcoming location will allow us to expand our services and create an accessible safe haven for our clients. If you have any information about a suitable premise or can assist in our search, your help would be invaluable.

Other Ways to Get Involved

Here are some other key areas where your support would be greatly appreciated:

Lend Your Professional Skills Are you a counsellor, therapist, or other mental health professional? We would be grateful for your expertise in our Buddy Talk program and other therapeutic activities.
Volunteer Your Time and Talents We welcome volunteers to assist with group activities, provide administrative support, or share specific skills. For example, our Eco Garden needs regular maintenance and would benefit from the advice of gardening enthusiasts.
Partner with Us to Empower Clients Do you have a skill to share? We are looking for individuals and organizations to collaborate on new client programs. This could be anything from art classes and vocational training to recreational activities that inspire passion and build confidence.
Champion Supported Employment A key part of recovery is regaining independence and purpose through work. We are seeking partnerships with local businesses to create supportive employment opportunities for our clients. We believe everyone deserves a chance to thrive.
