8 de Octubre Health Center hosts community mental health seminar

The ‘8 de Octubre’ Health Center in Formosa held a community talk focused on mental health awareness and prevention. Organized by mental health and social work teams, the event coincided with the center's anniversary and upcoming observances of World Mental Health Day and Psychologist's Day.

During the session, professionals addressed topics including anxiety management, depression, and suicide prevention, with a specific focus on supporting adolescents and young people. The initiative aimed to dismantle social stigmas and prejudices associated with psychological conditions, encouraging open dialogue and early detection of warning signs. This effort aligns with broader work by the Formosa Ministry of Human Development to promote mental health through workshops and institutional support networks.
