In Touch Introduces Penelope Case Management System
We are pleased to announce that our Penelope Case Management system is now LIVE.
In Touch Community Services, Inc. partnered with Breakthrough ACTION to create “A Moment for Myself”, a free Mental Health Booklet for Filipino teens that teaches mental health self-care in the post-pandemic era.
In Touch’s child psychologist Jessica Espanto reviewed the written and visual content of the booklet. “We illustrated individuals of different religions, individuals with different looks, LGBTQIA+, individuals who have a disability, and allies. I studied DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) principles in written and visual media to ensure the audit is sound and appropriate,” she said.
“I was very intentional in my choice of words for our target audience. I ended up choosing “mental health condition.” At the core of it, a mental health illness/disease/disorder/problem is a human condition,” she added.
‘A Moment For Myself’ is a mental health booklet for Filipinos by Filipinos. It can also be downloaded for free at link: https://tinyurl.com/MHBookletEng.
Booklets in Tagalog and Bisaya languages will also be made available soon.
