Capping off World Mental Health Month 2023 with a powerful and insightful video message from Senator Risa Hontiveros, the visionary driving force behind the groundbreaking Philippine Mental Health Law (R.A. 11036). 🧠✨

Kababayans and mental health warriors! As we end this special month, let's remember that the fight for mental health awareness doesn't stop here. Making mental health a priority isn't a one-month commitment; it's a daily responsibility.

Share this vital message with your friends, family, and networks to ensure we're all doing our part to lift each other up, today and every day. Together, let's continue to raise awareness, provide support, and build a community where mental health is everyone's concern.

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗙𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀!

We, the Fourth-Year students taking Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Tarlac State University will be conducting a 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗱 “𝗖𝗔𝗧-𝗔𝗥𝗧-𝗜𝗖𝗦” today, at the TSU Gymnasium and in front of Smith Hall Building in celebration of World Mental Health Month this October.

The booth's name, "𝗖𝗔𝗧-𝗔𝗥𝗧-𝗜𝗖𝗦," (CAT- a small furry domesticated Felis species, ART- a visual object or experience consciously created through an expression of skill or imagination, and ICS- denoting arts or sciences, branches of study, or profession) inspired from the word “CATHARTIC” that embodies the concept of providing psychological relief through the expression of strong emotions, causing catharsis. The term 'catharsis' originates from the ancient Greek word 'katharsis' which connotes "purification" or "cleansing."

In line with this year's celebration of World Mental Health, the main objective of 𝗔𝗕 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, 𝟰-𝟭 𝗘𝘃𝗲 in this event, "CAT-ART-ICS," is to extend a helping hand to animal shelters by donating funds to support the animals in need. We strongly believe that every animal deserves to be treated with love, care, and compassion, and we are committed to contributing our part in making this possible. Our passion for animal welfare drives us to take action and make a positive impact on the lives of these lovely creatures.

Our motivation and reason why we came up with helping animals is that it's heartwarming to see how much animals can positively impact our mental well-being. Research has shown that emotional support animals can be incredibly helpful for individuals struggling with various challenges. These furry companions offer a source of comfort and companionship, which can be invaluable during tough times. Additionally, caring for animals can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment. It's truly remarkable how much love and support these animals can provide unconditionally.

As pet owners, we recognize the importance of showing our love and appreciation for our furry friends who bring us immense happiness. And now, it is time for us to give back love.

AB Psychology 4B would also like to extend their deepest gratitude to their guest speaker, Ms. Avigail Y. Ramos, MSc, RPm, LPT. To their sponsors, Espasyo Co-Working Space and DN U- Design Advertising, guests Mr. Mark Alyson Madriaga and Ms. Andru Dylan Puri, DMH adviser, Ms. Jazmin Dizon, our College Dean, Dr. Aloysius T.
