PAC-Apresentation-Sanctuary-Course“My name is Afonso, I am Leticia’s father, a Grade 10th student at UHill. I am also a leader of an organization focused on building community called Around the Well. I would like to share with you a project that I am just starting to write, and I would like to invite anyone who can and is interested in building and leading it for the next year.
We are planning to run a course supported by the University of Edinburgh called the Sanctuary Course. This course discusses Mental Health, a very important theme for us parents, from three perspectives: psychological, sociological and theological views of 8 topics.
So, The course has eight sessions that we are dividing into two modules. The Fall module will talk about mental health, mental illness, stigma and recovery. The second module discusses Companionship, Caregiving, Self-Care, and Reflection.
Our organization is willing to contribute by renting a room for twelve meetings at the community center and providing lunch for twelve biweekly meetings between October 2023 and March 2024.
I’m here today to invite you to develop this project with me or join us when it starts next Fall. Although we are a Christian organization, we would like to invite people from different religions, such as Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Atheism, to come together, share a meal, watch short videos and think about how we can build communities that help people flourish in the midst of mental suffering.“
We are looking forward to see you again and even more of you on February General Assembly on February 23rd 2023.
