摘要：The issue of mental illness in Malaysia that has markedly increased as more individual seeks treatment for mental health issues ranging from mild mental disorders to severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia. Concerns of mental health problems for children and adolescents who are still attending school have also been voiced by the Johor State Council of Counsellors and the District Education Office (Johor) because there are no counsellor education institutions in Malaysia offering specialized mental health counselling training so far. Recently, Clinical Mental Health Counselling (CMHC) module developed by researchers at Sultan Idris Education University has proven to have good validity and reliability through research. As such, the District Education Office of Johor has recommended that clinical mental health counselling be provided to school counsellors to improve the efficiency of mental health counselling practices in schools. In this paper the findings of training workshop conducted at various schools in Johor will be reported with i) Stage One, which includes conducting a training and transfer of knowledge and skills to Graduate Intern (GI) in two aspects namely the understanding of CMHC module and the operation of the module; and ii) Stage Two, which includes the implementation of CMHC module training program, where GI with the supervision and guidance of the Academia implemented the CMHC training program among participants consisting of 50 school counsellors within Johor district.
