Even when we come from different languages, cultures, and backgrounds, we can connect through stories, creativity, and listening.
Thank you to the Phase 1K Youth Officers Association, Community Organizers Multiversity - CO Multiversity of Kasiglahan Village, Montalban (Rodriguez), Rizal, for sharing your stories, ideas, and community projects to our student interns from the Dramatherapy program of the Han University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands). In the next months, the interns will be going to and from Cubao to the Phase 1K and Phase 1K1 resettlement community areas -- for the community immersion and exploring how they can be of help to the youth leaders and youth organizations, who intend to engage their respective communities on community mental health awareness.
Our community youth leaders believe addressing community mental health is a direct service to the young people in their resettlement communities. How do we empower friends, families and community leaders in providing community mental health and psychosocial support? And how do we engage the local government of Bgy. San Jose and the municipality of Rodriguez, Rizal in addressing youth mental health and well-being.
Everyone has something to contribute. When we share, listen, and work together, change becomes possible.๐ฑ
