In 2022, the women's Centre for Change Penang (WCC) handled a total of 341 new face-to-face and online counselling cases, an 86% increase from the previous year, with the lifting of travel movements as the country began its transition to an endemic phase.

"Only 12% of the counselling sessions were conducted online as our clients preferred physical interaction," says WCC president Annie Yeap.
