Mental health is strengthened not only by addressing problems, but also by building the people, relationships, skills, and environments that help us cope.
Connection. Belonging. Purpose. Healthy coping. Support.

Small sources of strength can become important anchors during difficult times.
Let's build a community where everyone has people and places they can turn to. 💛

𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄

Asking for help does not mean you are weak, dramatic, or incapable.
Sometimes, strength looks like saying:

“I need help.”
“I'm having a difficult time.”
“Can someone stay with me?”

You don't have to wait until you reach your breaking point. Reaching out early can be an important step toward healing and recovery.

Seeking help can mean:
- Talking to someone you trust
- Visiting your guidance counselor
- Talking to a parent or trusted adult
- Consulting a mental health professional
- Asking someone to stay with you when things feel difficult

Sometimes, emotional distress isn't expressed through words. It may appear as withdrawal, changes in behavior, persistent sadness, hopelessness, or losing interest in things that once mattered.

Not every sign means someone is thinking about suicide—but changes deserve attention and care.

If you notice something different, don't be afraid to check in.

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊 | Growing Beyond the Game: Guiding Teens Toward Digital Balance and Connection

The 1st Quarter Parenting Talk, “Growing Beyond the Game: Guiding Teens Toward Digital Balance and Connection,” was successfully conducted last September 11, 2026, providing parents with a meaningful space to learn, reflect, and engage in conversations about parenting in today’s digital age. Through the insightful sharing of Ma. Isabel Soriano-Lemen, PhD, RPsy, parents gained practical perspectives on understanding their teens’ digital world and nurturing stronger connections beyond the screen.

The Wellness and Testing Center sincerely thanks Dr. Ma. Isabel Soriano-Lemen for sharing her expertise and valuable insights. We likewise extend our appreciation to our school administrators, faculty and staff, and all the parents who participated and contributed to the success of the activity.

Your continued presence and partnership strengthen our shared commitment to the holistic formation and wellbeing of our students. May we continue to work together in guiding our teens toward healthy digital habits, meaningful relationships, and a more balanced and connected life.
