Summary

Through iCamp for Mental Health which was conducted in 2018 participated by relative of mental health patients, mental health experts, and ministry of health, education is found to be the primary information that people need before accessing services. Service directory is another important thing listed after the education. In the support to make change and educate people on mental health, Suicide Prevention Chatbot has been initiated under cooperation between TPO and InSTEDD to make the initial test and information accessible to people so that they can understand more how serious the situation can be and hopefully to be able to spot people around them of any potential sign for suicidal thought. The chatbot was delivered through a Facebook called Stop Sucide Cambodia (បញ្ឍប់អត្តឃាត). This Facebook page is now run by TPO playing an important role in educating people about mental health as well as suicide.

Announcement

InSTEDD would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of our partners for the years of exceptional collaboration with the InSTEDD iLab Southeast Asia and for your contribution to its success in providing important solutions for social good.

Our original vision when we established the iLabSEA was that it would ultimately become a separate entity, locally owned and operated, in a model that provides social benefit and fits within the local economy. After 13 years of service to our local community, we are thrilled to announce that InSTEDD has closed our iLabSEA and the team from the LabSEA has now established an independent social enterprise organization, Kawsang.

We are confident that Kawsang will continue to provide the excellent service that has become their leadership team’s standard.

We are excited to have you join us in celebrating the success of realizing our vision for the iLabSEA and we very much appreciate your participation in this success and continued collaboration with Kawsang.
