Over the past 4 weeks, the Honiara City Council’s Youth Counselling and Wellbeing Service – Tokspot, has been providing an invaluable mental health training to young people across Honiara.
Funded by MFAT through ChildFund New Zealand, this training aimed to equip our youth with the knowledge and tools needed to better understand and cope with everyday mental health challenges.
Each week, a group of about 20 young individuals from different communities came together to engage in discussions and activities based on the Tokspot Manual, which covers 22 mental health topics like Stress Management, Anger Management, Teen Parenting and Drug & Alcohol.
With four groups completing the training, we are excited to see the positive impact this project will have on their lives and their communities.
Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this training a success.
