World Mental Health Day 2025 🌿

At Meta Belize: Mind & Body Wellness, we honor this day as a reminder that mental health is human health.

Every story matters. Every emotion deserves space. Healing begins when we speak openly, validate our experiences, and offer compassion to ourselves and others.

Let’s keep building a culture of safety, empathy, and hope — where mental wellness is everyone’s priority. 💚

Today, Itz’at STEAM Academy in Belize City welcomed Azalia G. Larrieu, Clinical Director of Meta Belize and a Clinical Trauma-Informed Specialist, for a powerful session with their students: “Level Up: Beating Bullying with Confidence.”

Through fun, interactive activities and meaningful discussions, students explored practical tools for self-compassion, mindfulness, and confidence-building. These techniques not only help them rise above bullying but also empower them to support one another and create a safer, kinder school environment. 💙💪

Azalia shared her passion for working with young people, reminding them that healing begins with recognizing their worth and using their voice. 🌟

Meta Belize is honored to partner with schools like Itz’at STEAM Academy in fostering resilience and cultivating emotionally healthy spaces for the next generation. 🙌

**Honored to Moderate This Important Discussion on Menopause!** 🌸

Today, I had the privilege of moderating a powerful panel on **menopause**, bringing together incredible experts from healthcare, advocacy, and wellness. Together, we broke the silence around this often-taboo topic, shedding light on how menopause impacts our **physical, mental, and emotional well-being**.

The insights shared were eye-opening—from debunking myths to discussing holistic health approaches. Menopause isn’t just a "women’s issue"; it’s a **public health conversation** that deserves more awareness, support, and open dialogue.

Huge thanks to our amazing panelists for their expertise and to everyone who joined us in this much-needed discussion. Let’s keep talking, learning, and advocating for better health at every stage of life! 💜

Thank you to the organizers H.E. Rossana Briceno and the Special Envoy
