Personal Development Literacy Workshops (Goal-Setting)

Our Personal Development Literacy workshops are the cornerstone of our empowerment strategy. Each workshop is tailored to address the specific needs of the community, incorporating culturally relevant examples and strategies. These interactive sessions cover a wide range of topics crucial for personal and professional growth:

  • Format: 4–6 session workshop series (or full-day intensive) aligned with the 5REASONS Framework. Participants reflect on Purpose/Mission/Vision, set Goals, create Action plans in the five life domains (Health, Finance, Relationships, Career, Business).
  • Delivery venues: Community centers, libraries, employer lunch‐and‐learns, adult education centers.
  • Engagement strategy: interactive activities, peer reflection, mentor support, and optional follow‐up booster sessions.
  • Retention: small cohorts (12-20 people), certificate of completion, alumni network, optional advanced modules, or peer-ambassador track.
  • Linkages: Offer optional transition to mental health literacy workshops (for those who need more mental health support) or integrate a mental health literacy mini module within each personal development cohort.

Mental Health Literacy Workshop

Our Mental Health Literacy workshops are the cornerstone of our empowerment strategy. Each workshop is tailored to address the specific needs of the community, incorporating culturally relevant examples and strategies. These interactive sessions cover a wide range of topics crucial for personal and professional growth: 

  • Format: As outlined in Part 2 (6 session model) or a one‐day intensive workshop (if adult time constraints), plus follow‐up booster.
  • Delivery: youth track (after school/adult ed), adult track (evenings/weekends), workplace track (for employers).
  • Facilitation: trained facilitators + peer co‐facilitator from community; include local provider guest speakers.
  • Referral – pathways: If participants show a higher‐level need (screening positive for moderate/severe concern), the facilitator refers them to a local partner mental health agency or community resource.
  • Retention: cohort model, peer network, optional mentorship match, program certificate, and ongoing alumni check‐in.
  • Integration with other life domains: After the core mental health literacy modules, offer optional add-on sessions that connect mental health to career stress, financial anxiety, relationship strain, and entrepreneurship challenges (tying into your five domains).
  • Evidence‐based Frameworks: use the four‐component MHL model (positive mental health, recognition, help-seeking, stigma) plus adult development adaptation.
