HBAI Guidance & Counseling Office

🌿 **World Mental Health Day 2023** 🌿

On **October 10**, we come together to raise awareness about the importance of mental health in our lives. Let’s take this opportunity to break the stigma, support one another, and prioritize self-care. 💚

Join us as we recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health. If you or someone you know needs help, remember—you’re not alone.

Happy Teacher's Day to all amazing HBAI educators!!!🥳🥳🥳
Praise God for your dedication and hard work.

It's World Animal Day today!

God has given us the responsibility of taking care of His creation - this also includes all living creatures.

Share an image of your pet and show your appreciation for the wonderful creation the Lord has given us to love and protect!

Happy World Animal Day!

WORLD ANIMAL DAY

This celebrates the importance of animals in our lives and highlights the need to protect and respect their welfare. It serves as a global reminder of our responsibility to preserve biodiversity and advocate for the rights of all living creatures.

Life can be overwhelming, but you're not alone—there’s always hope and help.

As counselors, we're here to support you through challenges. Here are a few verses to strengthen your faith and resilience in anxious times (see images).

Whether you're struggling with school, relationships, or personal growth, our guidance office is always here to listen and support you. Reach out when you need a helping hand or a listening ear. 💬📚

It's easy to get caught up in the hustle at work, constantly pushing yourself to meet deadlines, hit targets, and prove your worth. 😥

But in the middle of all that, one thing often gets left behind—your mental health.

This World Mental Health Month, with the theme 'Mental Health at Work,' let this be a reminder: prioritizing your mental health is not just a personal journey-- it’s essential for creating healthier workplaces.

When you take care of yourself, you not only thrive but also set an example for your colleagues. It's time to break the stigma and advocate for a workplace that values mental well-being as much as productivity.

This October, let’s commit to having conversations that matter, sharing our struggles, and supporting one another. Together, we can create an environment where everyone feels safe to express themselves and where mental health is at the forefront. ✨

ATTENTION ‼️

We'll be having our first CAREER CAMP this September 27, 2024. Please do bring the following:
✅ Pen 🖊
✅ Coloring material 🖍
✅ Plastic Folder 📁

See you!✨

Last September 10 was World Su***de Prevention Day! Don't hesitate to reach out to your counselor if you need any help.

🍀 Without 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝘩𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡𝘩, enjoying life and finding happiness can be difficult. Being 𝘩𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡𝘩𝑦 is key to feeling good and fully experiencing joy.

Health experts agree that both 𝑝𝘩𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 and 𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝘩𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡𝘩 greatly affect our quality of life and emotions.

The World Health Organization defines health as more than just not being sick—it includes feeling good physically, mentally, and socially. This means being healthy is key to being happy and living well.

Also, the American Psychological Association notes that mental and emotional health are important for overall life satisfaction.

Remember! MENTAL HEALTH is as important as PHYSICAL HEALTH!

Our feelings can affect all aspects of our lives: our relationships, work, study, sleep, and hobbies.

But it’s not always easy to understand our feelings, and it can be even harder to manage them – particularly when we’re upset.

Learning to understand and manage your feelings can help your mental health. 💜

Read our tips 👇

1/ Try to give your feelings attention without judging them, or yourself for having them.

2/ Try to name what you’re feeling, and what has led you to feel this way.

3/ Practice kind self-talk, giving yourself the same kindness as you would give to a friend.

4/ Try writing down your feelings to help you understand what they are.

5/ Try repeating something positive about yourself a few times a day (often called a “mantra”).
