Choosing a program in college and navigating student life come with many common stressors such as uncertainty about the future, academic pressure, financial concerns, and the weight of expectations from self and others.

For incoming college students, even the process of deciding what path to take can already feel overwhelming.

In moments like these, it’s important to pause and acknowledge what you feel. You don’t have to carry everything quietly or pretend to be okay all the time. It’s okay to feel, to struggle, and to take your time in figuring things out. Feel it. Deal with it. Heal from it.

The College of Liberal Arts proudly congratulates Ms. Arianne Angela D. Balaoing, Faculty of the Psychology Program, for receiving the Best Presentation Award – Criminal Justice Category during the International Research and Innovation Summit 2026

Her award-winning study entitled, “Understanding the Challenges and Child-Rearing Experiences of Mothers Deprived of Liberty in Dagupan City Jail Female Dormitory,” highlights the importance of mental health, social support, gender sensitivity, and inclusive rehabilitation programs for vulnerable communities.

This remarkable achievement reflects the College’s commitment to impactful research and the advancement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals , , , &

Your dedication to research excellence and social transformation continues to bring pride and honor to the College of Liberal Arts and the entire University of Luzon community.

Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement! 🎉

Our BA Psychology OJT students are now stepping beyond the classroom and into real-world practice, immersing themselves in the field of their choice (clinical, industrial/human resource, and educational settings) through our various linkages.

Guided by the standards of the Commission on Higher Education (CMO), On-the-Job Training (OJT) serves as a vital experiential learning opportunity where students apply their knowledge, skills, and values in actual workplace environments. This is where theories are tested, competencies are strengthened, and professional identity begins to take shape.

Each deployment is more than just a requirement; it is a meaningful step toward understanding people, improving systems, and making a difference in the communities they serve.

Good luck, future professionals! Your impact starts now. 💙

Our accomplishments highlight initiatives and programs anchored on mental wellness, inclusivity, and community engagement. Guided by integrity and a commitment to excellence, these reflect our organization’s aim of advancing the Psychology discipline through practice and advocacy.

Through active collaboration with the UL Office of the Guidance Center (UL Guidance Center Bulletin), and the Youth Peer Organization - UL, Psychenosi facilitated university-wide programs including Gender and Development initiatives, Drug Awareness and Prevention campaigns, Su***de Awareness and Prevention initiatives, and Mental Health Awareness activities.

At the departmental level, Psychenosi also conducted the Liberal Arts Week – Seminar on Psychology in September under the leadership of the Vox Liberalis Student Council, and spearheaded both the General Psychology Assembly in October and celebration of Psychology Week in March—each marking a first in the college and a significant achievement in its academic and organizational development.

As a community grounded in social responsibility and shared purpose, Psychenosi officers and members also participated in Mental Health Convergence 3 organized by the Philippine Mental Health Association - Pangasinan Chapter, held at Pangasinan State University, Lingayen Campus.

These accomplishments were made possible through the collective efforts of the Psychenosi officers under the leadership of President 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝗧. 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝘀, together with the active participation of the members and students.

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the College of Liberal Arts Dean, 𝗗𝗿. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗦. 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼, our Psychenosi adviser 𝗠𝘀. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗚. 𝗖𝗮𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲, and VLSC advisers 𝗠𝗿.

“It’s never too late to feel loved, seen, and connected.”

On October 28, 2025, the AB Psychology researchers, in partnership with L.A Extension Services- University of Luzon and Psychenosi, successfully implemented the project “C-LA Lolo at Lola Naman: Fun, Talk, and Connect” at 𝗢𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗗 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗰. This initiative supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly, 𝗦𝗗𝗚 3: 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗦𝗗𝗚 4: 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗗𝗚 17: 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀.

This initiative was founded on the 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 research titled “𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗗 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗰.” The study revealed that religious involvement, social engagement, and caregiver support are the primary factors that help elderly residents feel belongingness, love, and care within the institution. The findings highlighted that spirituality serves as a strong emotional foundation for the residents. Their faith and trust in God provide comfort and hope, even in the absence of family. Moreover, positive relationships with caregivers and peers greatly influence their perception of being valued and supported. The residents also expressed that active participation in group activities and daily interactions brings joy, purpose, and a sense of community.

In response to these findings, the researchers conducted three activities designed to enhance emotional and social well-being: the Umagang Kay Ginhawa, KwenTuwa: Afternoon Tambayan, and Expressions of Love. Through this initiative, the project aims to create a more vibrant, interactive, and compassionate care environment, where the mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of our grandparents (lolo and lola) is prioritized alongside their physical health.

Indeed, this project reminds us that mental health is as important as physical health, and that kindness, faith, and community are important in sustaining the well-being of the elderly.
