A proposed recovery model for substance abuse should integrate spiritual elements alongside biological, social, and psychological factors, particularly for Asian populations in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand where divinity is central to daily life. The paper argues that Western models overlook these spiritual dimensions. Zikr repetition, a meditative and spiritual practice, is suggested as a healing tool for substance abuse recovery.
Teachers' mental health problems are often overlooked despite their potential to harm students. This paper reviews literature to categorize common mental health issues among teachers and proposes a holistic mindfulness-based intervention program. The program includes 2 modules with 9 sessions, each lasting 60 minutes. The authors argue that such an intervention could address the lack of support for teachers' mental well-being.
