Accelerate action
The dedication of women in nurturing child development and providing care, along with their passion and significant contributions to the positive transformation of our world, must not be overlooked. Let us unite in accelerating action to support these efforts.
CAPIO CENTRE OF HOPE PARTNERS TO PREVENT RECIDIVISM
Recently, the Carmelite Prisoners Interest Organization Nigeria (CAPIO) commenced its inaugural phase of activities, which focused on deliberate engagement of returned citizens from various regions of the country.
Self care and Brain health
Do you care for everyone else apart from yourself? Self-love and self-care originate from the comprehension of the significance of effective mental well-being and play a crucial role in prioritizing our brain health.
Engagement with hearing/speech impaired children
On January 31, 2025, we commenced our psychosocial and multi-sport activities with students of the Ogbete Enugu Special Education Center (Hearing and Speech Impaired). These engagements fostered inclusivity, self-discovery, and the unlocking of their potential, enabling them to recognize their abilities despite their disabilities.
A Psychosocial Engagement session for personnel of Oji River Medium Custodial Centre was conducted on January 21, 2025, by Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation in collaboration with Coli Mental Health Academy. The session was facilitated by CAPIONG. The personnel were exposed to various issues related to brain health, emotions, behavior, and the effects of negative emotions on the human mind. They also learned about effective stress management techniques and strategies.
Mental Health is a state of mental well being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn, work and contribute to their community. You cannot contribute meaningfully to community development without good mental health and wellbeing. Positive emotions accompanied by a resilient mindset promote mental health, stability and well being. Good mental health and well being in any society revolve around a resilient mindset and positive coping skills.
