GOMBAK, 2 July 2021: IIUM expresses its heartiest congratulations to the IIUM Sejahtera Profiling Team which won the Gold Medal (Academician) and Best Invention (Academician) awards for their invention of the IIUM Sejahtera Profiling (ISP) at the i-Counnovas 2.0 on Tuesday (29 June). 

Organised by PERKAMA International, i-Counnovas carries the theme of œNew Dimensions in Counselling Innovation and provides the opportunity for international and local counselling educators, students and practitioners to have their creative and outstanding innovations to be showcased and recognised by potential businesses, educators, policymakers, practitioners and investors, both locally and internationally. 

The IIUM Sejahtera Profiling (ISP) web-based app, on the other hand, is a screening tool for early detection of mental health symptoms and issues. It is one of IIUMs initiatives to support the mental health needs of the IIUM community as it upholds the concept of œSejahtera or wellbeing and aims to increase mental health awareness while promoting the good well-being and spiritual dimensions of individuals.
