St. Edward School, Guidance and Counseling Center

The month of October gave us all the feels as we celebrated 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 spearheaded by the Guidance and Counseling Center.

With 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 and 𝐻𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑠, we would like to thank everyone who showed up, shared, danced, and laughed with us during our program. 🩵

Let us continue showing up with kindness while spreading hope and gratitude to everyone around us!

Here’s to staying grateful and hopeful all year long!

🧠 Bilang pakikiisa sa 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, ang 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 (GCC) kasama ang opisyal na school publication ng SES Imus Campus–𝘼𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙖 ay naghanda ng isang digital zine na naglalayong palawakin ang kamalayan at pag-unawa ng mga Edwardyano sa usaping mental health.

Sa pamamagitan ng mga artikulo, tips, at kuwento, layunin ng proyektong ito na ipaalala sa lahat na okay lang 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘢, 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘢, 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪 𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨. Iginiit din ng digital zine na ito ang kahalagahan ng mental health at kung paano ito pangalagaan.

Muli, alalahanin na ika’y mahalaga at kailanman ‘di nag-iisa. 💚

As we celebrate World Mental Health Day this October 10, let's take a moment to acknowledge all the emotions that we feel—joy, sadness, fear, anger, and everything in between.

And after every wave of emotion has passed, always remember that you are not alone. May we choose to practice gratitude and hold on to hope, even in the smallest ways.

Your feelings are valid. You matter.
