💙 Men's Mental Health Month 2026 – Reflecting on a Meaningful Initiative 💙

June is observed annually as Men's Mental Health Month, reminding us of the importance of encouraging men and boys to prioritize their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

The Guidance and Counselling Department at St. George's School of Sciences was honoured to host two impactful programmes aimed at empowering both fathers and our male students.

👨‍👦 Fathers' Empowerment & Wellness Session:
This engaging session was facilitated by Mr. Alphanso of the Gender Affairs Bureau, Ministry of Human Services and Social Protection, who guided fathers and father figures through meaningful discussions on men's mental health, healthy relationships, emotional wellness, resilience, and the importance of seeking support.

👦 Boys to Men: Building Character, Unlocking Greatness
Our boys also benefited from an inspiring empowerment programme featuring outstanding facilitators:

🔹 Dr. Lindo (GRPA) – Facilitated sessions on Hygiene and Puberty, equipping our young men with practical knowledge for healthy growth and development.

🔹 Mr. Lauristan Choy – Lecturer and Coordinator of the Bachelor of Youth and Community Development Programme at the University of Guyana, and Former Acting Foster Care Manager, Childcare and Protection Agency. He led an engaging session on the Mental and Emotional Aspects of Adolescence, helping students understand emotions, build resilience, and develop positive coping strategies.

Mr. Akash Persaud Senior Guidance and Counselling Officer School Support Services was also in attendance

These programmes reinforced the message that strong minds build strong families, strong schools, and strong communities. By investing in the well-being of our fathers and boys today, we are helping to shape confident, resilient, and responsible men for tomorrow.

The Guidance and Counselling Department extends sincere appreciation to all our facilitators, partners, school administration, staff, parents, and participants who contributed to the success of this initiative.

Together, let's continue to break the stigma surrounding men's mental health and encourage open conversations, support, and hope.

💙 Strong Minds. Strong Men. Strong Families. Strong Communities.

The Guidance and Counselling Department at St. George's School of Sciences hosted a Menstrual Hygiene Session in observance of Menstrual Hygiene Day, which is celebrated annually on May 28 worldwide. The activity was held under the theme, “Together for a Period Friendly World.”

The sessions were facilitated by the Guidance Counsellors in collaboration with the Adolescent Health Unit and the Climate and Environmental Units. The presentations focused on menstrual hygiene and menstruation, emphasizing the importance of proper hygiene practices during menstruation as well as the correct disposal of sanitary napkins.

The sessions were highly interactive, allowing both students and facilitators to actively participate in discussions and games related to menstrual health and hygiene. The participants also benefited from care packages distributed during the activity.

Overall, the initiative was informative, engaging, and successful in promoting awareness and encouraging healthy menstrual hygiene practices among students.

Please be informed that school will be dismissed at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20, to facilitate a GTU meeting.

All for your information.
