The Department of Education โ Schools Division of Quezon, together with its schools and communities, joins the global observance of World Su***de Prevention Day 2026, the final year of the 2024โ2026 triennial theme of the International Association for Su***de Prevention (IASP).
At Dr. Maria D. Pastrana National High School, we stand with DepEd Quezon in promoting a culture where mental health conversations are met with understanding, compassion, and careโnot silence or stigma.
Sometimes, simply listening can make a difference.
Sometimes, reaching out can remind someone that they are not alone.
And sometimes, starting the conversation can be the first step toward getting the help and support that a person needs.
Let us continue to build a safe and supportive school community where every learner, teacher, personnel, and member of our community feels valued, heard, and cared for.
Together, let us:
๐ BREAK STIGMA โ Talk about mental health with openness and compassion.
๐ DRIVE ACTION โ Encourage people to seek help and connect with appropriate support.
๐ SUPPORT CONNECTION โ Listen, reach out, and remind one another that no one has to face difficult moments alone.
Every life matters. Su***de is preventable. Help is available.
As one school community, Dr. Maria D. Pastrana National High School stands united with DepEd Schools Division of Quezon in fostering hope, care, understanding, and a culture of support for all.
Let us change the narrative.
Let us start the conversation. ๐
