Mental Health Assessment and Intervention Centre for
Children, Adolescents & Young Adults
About 2 Way Centre
The Penang Mental Health Association has been actively involved in mental health awareness and support activities since 1979.
The 2 Way Centre was established in March 2004 to provide assessment and intervention for children and teenagers in Penang. It strives to provide affordable services for children and adolescents with developmental, communication, learning difficulties and other related challenges.
The services offered by the 2 Way Centre have increased in scope as the teachers constantly increase their repertoire of skills. With the gradual increase in patients from the mainland, the 2 Way Centre now offers services in Kulim once a month while operating another branch in Bukit Mertajam.
The services offered at the 2 Way Centre are highly subsidized by public donations and corporate donors; something YOU can help with!
