Education is a fundamental human right. Despite the obstacles and challenges, students with mental illness have the right to pursue their education without discrimination and stigmatisation. The Rehabilitation of Illness and Support for Education (RISE) program aimed to provide comprehensive mental health support for students of higher learning in the largest university in Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi MARA. This pioneer-supported education program comprises three tiers of strategies for students to achieve academic excellence. The first tier of RISE is the primary intervention, the crucial stage to empower students with biopsychosocial and spiritual approaches to healthy lifestyles. This stage also serves to inculcate knowledge on psychological skills, introducing symptoms of mental illness and accessible mental health services for students of UiTM all over Malaysia. The "Health and Wellness @ Uni" module has been launched and is available via Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) and Micro-Credential Course. It also comes in a hardcopy and softcopy flipbook. This module may also raise awareness regarding mental illness among academic and non-academic staff lecturers. The second tier is the secondary intervention, which includes screening and early detection of mental health problems at Health and Wellness @ Uni, Klinik Minda Sihat and Counselling and Career Unit available all over UiTM campuses. The third tier is the tertiary intervention which provides supported education for students with mental illness, a collaborative effort between the Department of Psychiatry, Hospital Al-Sultan Abdullah (HASA) and various stakeholders including Students' Welfare Unit, Unit Perkhidmatan OKU (UPO), Zakat, Sedekah dan Wakaf (ZAWAF), Medical Social Welfare, HASA, Students and Academic Affairs, Universiti Teknologi MARA. Through this concerted effort, students with mental illness will excel to their full academic potential, live with optimum mental health conditions and RISE to their best health and wellness.
