Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC), managed by Cleveland Clinic, will organize a public health talk about teenagers’ mental health, emotional and sexual changes on 1 March 2011 at the Behavioral Sciences Pavilion auditorium.
The talk is part of the Mental Health Awareness Program that started in March 2010, and includes a series of health talks in Arabic language every month on different topics related to mental health and social problems. The invitation is extended to the public and SKMC’s patients.
The Mental Health Awareness Program is organized by the Behavioral Science Pavilion (BSP) of SKMC, a comprehensive psychiatric facility committed to providing mental health treatment services in the UAE. The program consists of monthly public health talks about different topics related to mental health in Arabic language. The talks are given by a panel of mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists as well as social workers from the BSP. Each session includes a question and answer session to answer the attendees’ inquiries.
Dr. Maha Al Ameri, BSP Director stated, “We are very careful when it comes to choosing the topic for these monthly awareness lectures. We look forward to addressing issues that are of utmost importance to the community. This is our eleventh monthly lecture and we are committed to go on with these talks in order to help people in the community understand the importance of psychological wellbeing and improve the quality of their lives.”
