Our WHY
Todu Guam CARES Movement is here for you.
We will provide a safe space for you to
express your thoughts and feelings.
Just as important, we will guide you
so you can learn strategies on how
to cope with challenging situations now
and through your life.
We work hard to help you have
#KinderDaysAhead.
What We Help You Work On
We all have character strengths that we can
tap into. But sometimes, we encounter different circumstances, changes, and challenges
that make it difficult for us to harness
our inner strength.
The key is to develop the life skills that will
help us learn, grow, and believe in ourselves.
At the same time, it will allow us to gain
an appreciation for others and become more aware
of other people’s feelings.
To do so, we focus on these four areas:
Gratitude
Open-Mindedness
Social Intelligence
Kindness
Todu Guam CARES Movement employs evidence- and research-based practices to strengthen your resiliency skills.
We Have a 3 Part Program at Work

“The CARES Movement helped me understand my emotions and how to deal with them in a healthy way.”
