But what if there are no fish in the sea?\u201d This powerful question prompted the audience to consider the limited opportunities for refugees and the structural injustices that must be addressed to provide meaningful support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Mr. Sam Lim, Manager at Malaysian CARE, concluded the conference with a session titled <em>\u201cExploring Addiction and Its Link to Mental Health.\u201d <\/em>He discussed the strong connection between mental health and drug use.
