American Samoa DOH Behavioral Health Services Division

BHSD Prevention team conducted an outreach for The Christopher James Foeoletini Ledoux Foundation staff on Mental Health.

Thank you for letting us share awareness on Mental Health.

The Behavioral Health Services Division (BHSD) team had the opportunity to conduct an outreach program for the CCCAS your groups across the Manu’a Islands, including the villages of Fitiuta, Ta’u, Faleasao, Ofu and Olesega from March 22, 2026 to March 29, 2026. The team engaged with local elementary and high school to share awareness information and connect with the youth.

In addition, BHSD participated in groundbreaking ceremony for the new Department of Heath (DOH) clinic in Olesega and the grand opening of the new DOH clinic in Fitiuta.

The DOH/BHSD is deeply grateful to the residents of the Manu’a Islands for their warm hospitality and support, which played a crucial role in making this outreach initiative successful.
