"Attending the in-person face-to-face presentations on Friday and Saturday will help those who have been struggling with suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, or feeling marginalised."  

According to the event website, "Class presentations will help boost skills and understanding in such subjects as: Marriage, family relationships, personal finances, emotional and spiritual challenges, education, employment and business, career development, entrepreneurship, and increasing wellness for a better and happier lifestyle. This experience can also foster more capability to care and minister to the needs of others."
