On 16–17 August 2025, the Academic Services and Learning Center of Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Chiang Mai held a PBRI Model-based project to protect monks and novices from noncommunicable diseases at Doi Saket Phadung Sat School, Choeng Doi Subdistrict, Doi Saket District, Chiang Mai. One hundred monks and novices participated. The project developed health knowledge, understanding, and self-care skills, particularly for preventing diabetes, hypertension, and depression. Academic lectures and hands-on training covered PBRI Model health assessment, vital signs measurement, basic emergency care, medication and tube feeding, wound care, first aid, and Basic Life Support (BLS). Qualified nursing lecturers from the college provided training throughout the program, enabling participants to apply the knowledge to their own health and share it with their communities. All participants were to receive completion certificates. The initiative supported sustainable wellbeing among monks and novices and strengthened community public health systems. The college reported the project on 17 August 2025.
