From February to April 2023, three interns, Sathiravija “Earth” Heebthong, Chadaporn “Mew” Kaenchan, and Chalita “Mok” Auesiritrakul from Thammasat University School of Social Administration, interned with APCASO to develop and implement their project focusing on the mental health of elderly populations in Klong Toei community. This resulted in the development of a brochure focusing on 12 types of cognitive distortion experienced by
the elderly and information on how they can respond and seek help from this experience. Earth, Mew, and Mok also took part in APCASO’s work on CCM Evolution, Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS) on TB, and the development of the Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness, and Response (PPPR) Community Toolkit.
This is the result of this year’s internship program! We congratulate Earth, Mok, and Mew for a job well done these past two years!
