PLSP Guidance Office

In celebration of Psyche Week 2025 and PTSD Awareness Month, we successfully held the seminar “Finding Strength in Vulnerability: A Journey to Healing” last June 10 at the PLSP Library.
The event, hosted by PLSP Samahang Sikolohiya - SaSi in collaboration with the Guidance and Counseling Office, created a safe and supportive space for students to learn about trauma, resilience, and the power of counseling in healing. Together, we took a meaningful step toward awareness, understanding, and healing. 💚
Remember: Your healing matters. Your story matters. You are not alone.

✨ Creating a World of Kindness and Respect ✨🌍
On June 2, 2025, the Guidance and Counseling Office successfully facilitated a seminar titled "Stop Bullying: Creating a World of Kindness and Respect" for the students of Bachelor of Science in Physical Education.
💬 The seminar aimed to:
✅ Raise Awareness
✅ Promote Empathy and Respect
✅ Identify Warning Signs
✅ Empower Action – What can you/we do?
✅ Teach Effective Prevention Strategies
📌 Students learned about the different types of bullying:
🔹 Verbal – name-calling, teasing, threats
🔹 Social – exclusion, spreading rumors
🔹 Physical – hitting, pushing
🔹 Sexualized – unwanted comments or touching
🔹 Cyber – online harassment or shaming
🔹 Prejudicial – targeting someone because of race, religion, gender, etc.
👥People involved in bullying – the bully, the target, and the bystanders – and how each one plays a role in stopping the cycle.
💡 Tips were shared on what to do when being bullied and how to respond in safe, respectful, and empowering ways.
Tips on What to Do When Being Bullied
• Stay Calm – Try not to react with anger; staying calm can help defuse the situation.
• Walk Away – If possible, remove yourself from the situation without engaging.
• Speak Up Confidently – Use a firm, respectful voice to say things like “Stop,” or “That’s not okay.”
• Tell a Trusted Adult – Talk to a teacher, parent, or counselor about what happened.
• Keep a Record – Write down what happened, when, where, and who was involved (especially for ongoing or cyberbullying).
• Avoid Retaliating – Responding with violence or insults can make things worse and get you in trouble too.
• Stay with Supportive Friends – Bullies are less likely to target you when you’re not alone.
• Block and Report – For cyberbullying, block the bully and report the behavior on the platform.
• Seek Counseling or Support – Talking to the school’s guidance and counseling office can help you cope emotionally.
• Remember It’s Not Your Fault – You don’t deserve to be bullied, and help is available.

🤝 Help is always available. The Guidance and Counseling Office is here to listen, support, and stand with you.
🗣️ Don’t be afraid to speak up. Seeking help is a strength, not a weakness.
