Rotary Club of Greater Mandaluyong raises mental health awareness among Filipino youth

Rotary Club of Greater Mandaluyong (RCGM) showed support for the Mental Health Awareness Project of the Rotary Club of Mandaluyong-Pasig-San Juan (MANPASAN)

In partnership with The One Algon Place Foundation, the event, with the theme, “Can you Read My Mind? Driving Critical Awareness of Mental Health and Well Being Among Filipino Youth,” aimed to raise awareness on mental health issues today.

It was held on  November 27, 2019 at the Kaban ng Hiyas, Mandaluyong. The main focus was on mental health awareness, particularly giving importance to education, identification, and prevention of depression and suicidal tendencies. Its mission is to build a community of effective Rotary Mental Health Guardians who can help in handling these pertinent issues amongst oneself, the family, friends, and other members of society.

RCGM sent 10 students and three teachers from its sponsored school, Addition Hills Integrated School of Mandaluyong. Together with other five (5) Rotary Clubs of Mandaluyong, it also contributed to the materials and supplies as well as additional snacks of the participants.
