PROA PRESS

Project PROA, in collaboration with 4H Marianas, provided a safe space for over 110 attendees to talk openly about mental health at its first annual mental health summit called Time to H.E.A.L. - Heal, Empower, Advocate, and Love on Saturday, March 4, 2023.

The event had college students and community presenters from Northern Marianas College, Community Guidance Center, Northern Marianas Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, and Trench Tech Purebred Saipan.

The event's purpose was to educate students on the significance of mental health in college life and adulthood, with a focus on healing, empowerment, advocacy, and love. The summit featured panel discussions, breakout sessions, and activities that focused on different aspects of mental health, including the impact of trauma, maintaining mental health, recognizing signs of distress, coping with stress, addressing the effects of cyberbullying, and creating a safe environment for everyone.
