One of our projects last year (2023) was the Mental Health Seminar for Catechists, RCAM-ES teachers and public school students. This year (2024), we plan to extend this seminar to the Parish Youth Ministry (PYM). The Mental Health Seminar & Companion Training (MHCT) is a new project of the ministry.
The objectives of the seminar / training are the following;
- To build or expands the capacity of the Parish Youth Ministry (PYM) in the area of mental health care.
- To promote their well-being and resilience.
- To provide training to members of the PYM who engage with young people to detect and respond to mental health challenges, and connects young people, who may present with behavioral health challenges and their families to necessary services.
- To increase the mental health literacy.
On March 9, 2024 (Saturday), we will have the Mental Health Seminar & Companion Training (Batch 1) to the Vicariates of Loreto, De Guia, De Dilao and Holy Family from 9:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon at the 4th Floor Arzobispado, Intramuros, Manila.
