The study will involve an estimated of 288 participants, who have previously participated in the first phase of this study (A cross-sectional study on contributing factors of depression and anxiety among adults in Selangor, Malaysia).

The intervention program consists of 4 sessions, with each session accessed on each week. Participants in both groups will be followed-up at week 5 and week 12.
