 IX. INTRODUCTION OF SPEAKER

EMCEE: May is considered as Mental Health Awareness Month. It has never been more
important than to recognize that mental health is an essential component in one’s overall
health and wellbeing, and that mental illnesses are common and treatable. While it may be
that some of us are more vulnerable than others, everyone faces challenges in life that can
impact their mental health. After all, more than a year ago, none of us had any idea that all of
us would be upended by this pandemic, and that worry, isolation, loneliness, depression and
anxiety would become collective experiences shared by everyone. And by that everyone, it
literally means that none of us is ever exempted. Regardless of how strong both our physical
strength and financial capability is, our mental state is somehow troubled by this health crisis
that is now dominating not just in our country but the whole wide world.

To educate us about Mental Health Awareness, we invited a speaker who will discuss to us
about this matter. She is

XIV. CLOSING PRAYER

EMCEE: Definitely, Mental Health Awareness Month provides a timely reminder that
mental health is essential and that those living with mental health issues deserves care,
understanding, compassion, and pathways to hope, healing, recovery, and fulfillment. After
all, that is what we all need now more than ever– for ourselves, for our loved ones, for our
communities, and for our world. With this, I’d like to leave you these words to ponder, that
“MENTAL HEALTH IS AS IMPORTANT AS PHYSICAL HEALTH”.

As we are about to end this LAC Session, let us put ourselves in the presence of the Lord by
closing our eyes and sincerely pray to our ALMIGHTY GOD.
