ACC Guidance Office

The 2026 Women’s month celebration champions women’s role in leadership, empowerment, and inclusive participation in society, even during that pre-colonial Babaylans. Indeed, women’s leadership was grounded in wisdom, empathy, mediation, and moral guidance. May these serve as an inspiration for Filipino women to become agents of transformational leadership wherever they are in the society.

Welcome Back to School, ACCIAN's

In the aftermath of Bagyong Tino, many are still recovering — not just from the damage to homes, but also from the emotional impact it brought. Disasters can leave invisible wounds — fear, anxiety, or sadness — and it’s okay to feel that way.

Remember, you don’t have to go through it alone. The Guidance Office is open to anyone who needs a safe space to talk, process emotions, or seek support.

Let’s heal together — mind, heart, and home.

TRIGGER WARNING

Kumusta ka?

The past few days have been rough. We have been reminded the importance of showing kindness in both our words and actions. Our behaviors can have a lasting impact on those around us, especially during sensitive times.

We understand that such events may have been distressing or triggering. It is completely valid to feel a range of emotions in response to what has happened.

If you wish to talk, process your thoughts, or simply need a listening ear, the Guidance Office and our messenger are always open to provide a safe and supportive space for you. Let us continue to foster empathy, respect, and understanding within our community. 💛

THANK YOU, ACCIANS! 💚

As we wrap up National Mental Health Week, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all students and faculty who participated in our activities — the Freedom Wall, "Take What You Need" Wall, and Stress Outlet Corner. Your messages, reflections, and involvement reminded everyone that no one is ever truly alone.

This year’s theme, “Access to Service: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” reminds us that caring for our mental health is just as vital as ensuring our safety — especially now, as our country faces typhoons and earthquakes. These moments of crisis remind us of the importance of compassion, connection, and making mental health support accessible to all.

Let’s remember: Mental Health Week is not a celebration, but an awareness — a call to understand, to care, and to act. May this week remind us that every day is a chance to check in, reach out, and continue breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.

October 10 is World Mental Health Day

This year's theme is: Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies

In times of crisis, mental health care is not a luxury – it’s a lifeline.

Disasters, conflicts, and emergencies can leave invisible scars, but help and healing should never be out of reach. This World Mental Health Day, let’s stand together to ensure that mental health support is available, accessible, and compassionate – for everyone, everywhere, especially in the toughest of times.

Because recovery isn’t only about rebuilding places, but also about restoring peace of mind.

✨ Celebrate small wins ✨

No victory is too small — every step, every effort, every little progress counts. 🌿
Take a moment to appreciate how far you’ve come, even if it’s just getting out of bed, finishing a task, or choosing to keep going today. 🌞

Progress is still progress — be proud of yourself. 💚

Reminder: Drink water, not worries. Hydration boosts both body and mood.

Sometimes, all you need is a deep breath, a sip of water, and a reminder that things will be okay. Stay hydrated, stay calm — you deserve peace today. 🌿💙

🌼 Daily Mental Health Tip:

Life isn’t a race — it’s a journey meant to be taken one step at a time. Some days you’ll move quickly, other days you’ll need to slow down, and that’s perfectly okay. What matters is that you keep moving forward, no matter how small the steps may seem. 💚

You don’t have to do everything at once — take things one step at a time, and be kind to yourself along the way. 🌿
