Damascus College Marks World Infant, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Day
07 May
On Tuesday 23 April Damascus College's Student Wellbeing team shone a spotlight on World Infant, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Day (WICAMHD) at the St Martin Resource Centre. This annual observance aims to raise awareness and promote action for the mental health of young people worldwide.
Key objectives of WICAMHD include enhancing global understanding of child and adolescent mental health, reducing stigma associated with mental disorders in these age groups, advancing diagnosis and treatment methods, and fostering international collaboration to address mental health challenges, particularly in regions with limited resources.
Encouraging engagement, students and staff were invited to share their thoughts, questions, or advice on mental health. Additionally, they were encouraged to explore the Wellness Collection's resources, providing valuable support and information on mental health topics.
By recognizing WICAMHD, Damascus College underscores its commitment to nurturing the holistic well-being of its school community and fostering a culture of openness, support, and understanding around mental health.
