Community health initiatives focus on cancer support and mental health

In Zamora, Michoacán, a blood donation campaign led by local government and the Asociación Mexicana de Ayuda a Niños con Cáncer (AMANC) collected over 40 units of blood. The initiative, held in the main plaza, aims to support the treatment and well-being of children and adolescents battling cancer.

In Santa Rosa, Argentina, the municipality hosted a suicide prevention and mental health awareness event at the Villa Cabecera Municipal Auditorium. Led by the DeMentes streaming program and featuring psychologist Pedro Piemontesi from the Red Iberoamericana de Suicidología, the session focused on recognizing warning signs, reducing stigma, and strengthening community support networks.
