DepEd GenSan Mental Health Kalinga

Our very own RGC Miraflor as the model—what a proud moment! 💚✨

A meaningful moment captured during our post-pandemic Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) activity in Brgy. San Jose, promoting healing, connection, and resilience within the community.

Thank you, DepEd, for this significant milestone in advancing Mental Health in Schools! For decades, Guidance Counselors and mental health advocates have been wearing many hats—sometimes, an entire hat rack! 🎩😅

With the new School-Based Mental Health law and the hiring of School Counselor Associates (SCAs), guidance services are finally receiving the support and boost they truly deserve.

One step closer to giving mental health, guidance and counseling, and learner welfare the attention, support, and resources they deserve. 💚

Together, we continue building schools where every learner is heard, supported, and cared for. 🌱💚

Pinabilis ni Education Secretary Sonny Angara ang pagre-recruit at pagtatalaga ng 10,000 School Counselor Associates (SCA) sa buong bansa upang suportahan ang mental health ng mga mag-aaral matapos ang mga kamakailang insidente ng karahasan sa mga kampus.

Integrating Mental Health and Psychosocial Support with Cultural Arts 🎭💚

A meaningful Coordination Meeting and Module Crafting was conducted in collaboration with KALIMUDAN Cultural and Arts Center, focusing on the integration of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) with cultural arts.

Through this collaboration, we aim to develop creative, culturally responsive, and meaningful approaches that promote healing, resilience, connection, and well-being among learners and communities.

Together, we create spaces where culture becomes a bridge to healing and mental well-being. 🌿🎨

Together for Mental Health💚🧠

📢 RESPONSIBLE INFORMATION SHARING DURING MASS TRAGEDIES

A Quick Reference Guide for Media Practitioners and the General Public

In the aftermath of a tragedy, how information is shared can either support community recovery or unintentionally worsen trauma and trigger violence contagion.

Newsrooms set the narrative, but every social media user controls its spread.

The Psychological Association of the Philippines - Clinical Psychology Division shares this Quick Reference Guide to help foster safety, responsibility, and trauma-informed communication across all platforms.

🧠 QUICK TAKEAWAYS:

🚫 Deny Perpetrators Infamy: Limit names, photos, and manifestos to prevent the contagion effect.

🧩 Look at Systemic Causes: Focus on structural gaps rather than single, oversimplified motives.

🛡️ Protect Survivors: Honor human dignity, practice informed consent, and respect privacy.

💚 Highlight Recovery & Support: Amplify crisis helplines, support services, and community resilience.
