Our Vision
A reminder that clarity and structure can create real change when guided by purpose.
Our Mission
A commitment to turning dialogue into learning, and learning into action.
Accredited to Deliver Professional Learning
We develop programmes aimed at strengthening professional practice and supporting organisations in building healthier, more resilient teams. We also collaborate with other HRD Corp-accredited trainers where relevant to expand the depth and diversity of our training experiences.
While Thrive Elevate is currently working towards becoming a registered training provider so that our programmes may be directly claimable under HRD Corp, we are in the meantime collaborating with HRD Corp–registered training providers to deliver programmes where claimability is required. This allows organisations to continue accessing our training modules while we complete the necessary steps toward full provider registration.
Becoming a registered training provider is part of our future plans, but for now, our priority is building credible content and impactful learning experiences that make a real difference.
FOUNDER, Programme Director | SHEENA MELISSA CHOK
Sheena Melissa Chok
Sheena’s work today sits at the intersection of communications, training and mental health, following a 20-year career in public relations and corporate communications. This includes training and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) services, alongside community-based programmes.
Her career began in Kuala Lumpur before taking her to Beijing, where she spent a decade working with organisations including Hill+Knowlton Strategies and the World Gold Council. An HRD Corp Accredited Trainer, she holds a Master’s in Counselling from Open University Malaysia and a Bachelor’s in Mass Communication from Curtin University, and is a member of the Malaysian Mental Health Association.
Her approach is humanistic and systems-informed, shaped by both professional knowledge and lived experience. She has particular interests in family-of-origin dynamics, interfaith relationships and the ways family, culture, and wider systems shape individual experiences.
Based in Kota Kinabalu, she also serves as a volunteer officer with St. John Ambulance of Malaysia, with a focus on community education and public awareness.
AOD, LIVED EXPERIENCE Advisor | HENRI CHOK
Henri Chok
Henri Chok is a dedicated professional in the Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) and Mental Health sectors, drawing on both professional training and Lived Experience in addiction, mental health challenges, and incarceration. Based in Perth, WA, Henri is an NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) provider and peer support worker who uses his personal journey to advocate for and walk alongside individuals facing similar struggles, helping them regain independence and access essential resources.
Committed to bridging the gap between lived experience and professional care, Henri empowers others to rebuild their lives with dignity and opportunity — often through community-based support and grassroots movements. He often returns to Kota Kinabalu — a place he still calls home — to visit friends and family, and is keen to contribute to the grassroots efforts Thrive Elevate is building across the region.
Henri serves as an Lived Experience advisor to Thrive Elevate, offering insights drawn from both his frontline work and his grounding in Australia’s more mature and structured mental health landscape. His perspective continues to shape the platform’s direction, particularly in strengthening our approach to lived experience integration and meaningful social dialogue. As a trusted voice, Henri’s contributions behind the scenes are deeply valued.
