Abstract Body The second presenter (Mukhtar) will discuss the use of training guidelines in diverse regions of the world, and recent experiences with training in Malysia in particular. The region’s rapid expansion of mental health services brings both opportunities and challenges, including limited supervision capacity, uneven credentialing systems, and the need for culturally responsive training. Emerging opportunities include digital learning, regional co-supervision networks, and train-the-trainer initiatives to strengthen sustainability. A coordinated approach emphasizing competency-based practice, cultural relevance, and scalable supervision models will be central to advancing CBT training across Asia.
