    Program Overview

    First Session - Mental Health Talk: Recovering from COVID 19 

    Description: Manggaige Ham means "We Are Here," a project focused on the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive effects of the COVID-19 disaster — a crisis that's possibly impacted us in more ways than any disaster in a generation. 

    The year ahead will require empathy, observation, expanded insight, and a desire to help fellow survivors — especially from leaders like you. 

    We'll introduce information and awareness strategies to address the emotional needs of a recovering workplace or engage your traumatized workforce.

    Guam's recovery depends on our peoples' wellbeing. As employers, you are essential in making mental health part of that recovery. 

    We hope this session is only the beginning of Guam Behavioral Health and Wellness Center's Manggaige Ham project outreach to you and your businesses.

    Second Session - Seeing through the Stigma: Honest Conversations About Mental Health & Well-Being

    Description: This workshop experience will provide participants the opportunity to learn the contribution of the professional workplace and an individual’s mental health toward organizational success and staff productivity. Join mental health and prevention professionals in this virtual think tank among Guam’s HR professionals, where you can take part in exploring your experiences, successes and challenges (especially in the past year) to develop the next action steps in creating work environments that promote positive mental health.
