Izzat

Izzat is an aspiring clinical psychologist and researcher dedicated to making mental health services more inclusive and accessible for all Malaysians. Growing up in a conservative region, he struggled to find identity-affirming support and only received proper care after moving cities. Izzat has witnessed how ignorance and prejudice toward queer youth can impact the quality of care. He wants queer youth to know that affirming mental health support does exist, where to find it, and most importantly, that there is nothing wrong with who they are.
