Workshops occur once monthly usually on the third Monday of the Month.
Must be an hour to an hour and a half (60-90 minutes) long.
To maintain the high standards of education and professional development within our organization, workshop presenters are expected to meet the following requirements when delivering educational sessions:
- Relevance to Filipino Communities: Workshops must be specifically relevant to the mental health needs and challenges within Filipino communities. The content should address cultural nuances, experiences, or issues faced by Filipino community.
- Duration: Workshops are expected to be at least one hour in length, allowing for sufficient depth of content and engagement with participants.
- Virtual Accessibility: In line with our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, workshops should be designed to be delivered virtually, ensuring that participants from diverse geographical locations can access the content.
By adhering to these requirements, workshop presenters can contribute to the mission of our non-profit organization and provide valuable educational opportunities for Filipino mental health professionals and those who support Filipino mental health care.
For 2026, please review these themes and determine if your proposal falls into one of these topics to align with our direction. It's also okay if it doesn't, please continue to apply as we welcome all ideas that support the Filipino Community!
