Our Programmes
Three Programmes, One Clear Purpose
Each programme is built around a different depth of engagement — from a single-day overview to a 10-week household cohort. All are educational only, grounded in public records.
← Back to Home— how we work
Our Educational Methodology
Thornmark programmes are structured around recognition rather than reaction. Rather than presenting alarming scenarios, each session focuses on the observable characteristics of publicly documented patterns — the kinds of things a household can discuss calmly and return to later.
Materials are designed for retention. We use printed reference cards and workbooks because information that stays in a drawer is more useful than a website link that gets forgotten. The ten-week cohort reinforces this further through peer discussion and repetition over time.
All sessions are facilitated, not lectured. Questions are part of the programme design — participants are expected to bring their own observations, and the group benefits from that exchange.
Source: Public Records Only
Content is drawn from Bank Negara, PDRM, and BNMLINK publications. Updated before each intake.
Facilitated Small Groups
Capped at 15–20 participants. Discussion is part of the programme, not an add-on.
Printed Materials Included
Reference cards, workbooks, and readers accompany every programme at no extra charge.
Clear Referral to Official Channels
Every programme provides a curated list of official contacts — BNMLINK, PDRM, and others.

Educational only; the session does not provide individual case advice.
