IIUM-KOMITED Pahang Forest Walk for Mental Health 2025 was successfully conducted on 19 November 2025 as part of initiatives to promote mental health and well-being through engagement with nature and environmental stewardship. The programme was jointly organised with SiTEC Flagship Team, Natural Medicinal Products Centre, Kulliyyah of Pharmacy and KOMITED Pahang.
While walking along the forest trail for wellness, participants were also introduced to several interesting forest plants and learnt their ethnobotanical uses. The participants were also contributing their efforts in beautifying the entrance of IIUM Forest of ‘Ilm during gotong-royong session. A simple questionnaire that was responded to by the participants after the forest walk activity suggested that the activity is beneficial for promoting mental health and well-being. This programme has served as a platform to strengthen collaboration between the university and the local community, especially in delivering community service while fostering awareness of mental health and environmental sustainability among the participants.
