國立臺北護理健康大學生諮系曾煥棠特聘教授利用教授研究休假的期間，自費前往馬來西亞的砂勞越和新加坡等地，尋求學術合作的教學基地，希望可以重新啟動生諮系的國際交流活動。
東馬部分(Sarawak)
1-古晉博愛協會(KUCHING LIFE CARE SOCIETY)
古晉的博愛協會主席洪順和先生及團隊一直在支持當地的公益活動。2019年與馬來西亞的無語良師學院(Academy For Silent
Mentor)簽署合作意向書，在大體的搬運上給予車輛和人力支持。同時，也在砂拉越州一同攜手推廣“愛．無語良師” Love．Silent Mentor計畫，提升地方群眾對大體捐贈的認知與意識醒覺。讓大體捐贈意願者的心願得以實現，讓捨身忘我的大愛精神得以傳播。
籌設博協愛安寧緩和醫療中心(Palliative Center for Kuching Life Care Society)
古晉博愛協會在2021年的1月尋求議會批准的繪圖已接近完成，繪策師與M&E的工程師在積極處理工作。預計在3月可以動工興建安寧療養中心。

預計2024年的年初建築的硬體建設可以完成，當年的6月可以取得使用執照，便可以開始內部58床位的裝修。安寧的服務項目會開始招募和培訓各類的照護、管理、清潔等工作人員。2025年初可以正式開始運作，提供的服務內容包括常住安寧病房病人的身心靈全人照護、日間安寧照護、教育推廣甚至遺體淨身。
2-UNIMAS砂勞越大學
砂勞越大學認知科學與人類發展學院 (The Faculty of Cognitive Sciences and Human)
Development, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak,UNIMAS)與本校生諮系在2019年簽屬學術合作意向書，但是因為COVID19疫情，彼此之間的交流一直沒有展開。此次，曾教授利用休假期間前往該校進行非正式的拜訪，希望本系可以重啟兩校在人類發展、生死教育和諮商心理等領域的交流。

Sarawak
1- KUCHING LIFE CARE SOCIETY
The Chairman, Mr. Huo ShungHung, and his team of LIFE CARE SOCIETY in Kuching have been actively supporting local charity events. In 2019, they signed a memorandum of understanding with Malaysia's Academy For Silent Mentor to provide vehicle and manpower support for transportation purposes. They also collaborated in promoting the "Love．Silent Mentor" project in Sarawak state, raising awareness and understanding among local communities about whole-body donation. Their efforts have enabled the realization of the aspirations of whole-body donors and the dissemination of selfless acts of great compassion.
Palliative Center for Kuching Life Care Society
The Kuching Life Care Society's application for council approval for the proposed design of the Palliative Center was nearing completion in January 2021, with the architects and M&E engineers actively working on the project. It is anticipated that construction of the center will commence in March 2021, allowing for the establishment of a dedicated facility for end-of-life care.
The construction of the building, as shown in Figure 2, was underway in June 2023. It is anticipated that the hardware construction of the building will be completed by early 2024, and the occupancy license can be obtained by June of that year. This will allow the commencement of the interior renovation of the 58-bed facility. Recruitment and training of various personnel, including caregivers, managers, and cleaning staff, for the palliative care services will begin. By early 2025, the facility is expected to officially start its operations, offering comprehensive physical, mental, and spiritual care for residents in the palliative care ward, as well as providing daytime palliative care, educational outreach, and even post-mortem body preparation services.
2-UNIMAS
The Faculty of Cognitive Sciences and Human Development, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), and our department signed a memorandum of understanding for academic collaboration in 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the exchange activities between the two institutions has not yet to take place. During my sabbatical vacation, I made an informal visit to UNIMAS with the aim of reinitiating the exchange between our departments in the fields of human development, death education, and counseling psychology.
