About the Filipino Mental Health & Well-Being Summit

First convened in 2018 with support from the Los Angeles Dept. of Mental Health, the upcoming 2019 Annual Filipino Well-Being (FWB) Summit plans to continue and expand its goals & purposes: 1) To recognize and utilize indigenous Filipino constructs and understanding of wellness and healing; and, 2) To reduce stigma associated with mental and emotional illness; and 3) To promote community dialogue and connectivity. Evaluations of last year’s summit indicated participants enthusiastically rated the program including plenary and workshops at an average of 4 out of 5. At the conference, participants repeatedly asked that the conference be held on an annual basis and allow deeper dialogue and action steps to address the health & mental health well-being of the Filipino community.

For the upcoming 2019 Annual FWB Summit, 16 workshops are planned focusing on prevention (e.g. early childhood, parenting problems, Incredible Years, cultural/general conflicts), education (su***de prevention, LGBTQ perspectives,), cultural approaches to self-care and caregiving, and other topics. Several of the workshops will be interactive, some including dramatic scenes, exercises, and multimedia presentations. This year’s Summit’s theme is “healing the present by reclaiming and remembering the past.”

On Saturday, April 13, 2019, from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, the 2nd Annual Filipino Well-Being Summit will take place at the The Center at Cathedral Plaza located at 555 West Temple Street Los Angeles, CA 90012. Registration starts at 7:30 am and a networking reception will begin at 5:00 pm.
