January White and the Importance of Emotional Well-Being
Created to stimulate open conversations about emotions, January White reinforces the idea that caring for the mind is as essential as taking care of physical health.
In this context, the Correio event emerges as a qualified space for listening, dialogue, and exchange of experiences.
Right at the opening, the program will include remarks by the president of Correio Braziliense, Guilherme Machado, moderated by journalists Carmen Souza and Sibele Negromonte.
The leadership reinforces journalism’s commitment to promoting emotional well-being and public interest information.
Public Policies and the Impact of Mental Health in Public Services
Then, still at the opening, the debate moves into the institutional field.
Participating are the commander of the Military Police of the Federal District, Ana Paula Habka, and the Undersecretary of Mental Health of the DF, Fernanda Falcomer.
Thus, the guests talk about mental health from the perspective of public policies, highlighting the direct impacts of emotional illness on public service and society.
The dialogue connects management, security, health, and citizenship, expanding the reach of January White.

Thus, after individual presentations, the panel transforms into an open space for dialogue among the specialists.
Building Spaces for Listening and Care
Next, at 10:40 AM, the second panel addresses the theme “Building Spaces for Listening and Care.”
The focus is on welcoming practices, prevention, and promotion of emotional well-being in different social contexts.
