CARE Center Holds Psychological Booths to Promote Mental Health and Wellness at Pines City National High School
The CARE Center at Pines City National High School (PCNHS) successfully conducted a 3 day Psychological Booth activity, providing learners with a safe, vibrant, and engaging space to connect, unwind, and learn more about their mental and emotional well-being. The initiative brought together the Guidance and Counseling Unit, School Mental Health Unit, and Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG), in collaboration with BSU Psychology Interns, to strengthen school-wide mental health and wellness efforts.
Through a variety of interactive booths featuring games, Anik-Anik activities, and food and beverages, learners were given opportunities to relax, socialize, express themselves, and enjoy meaningful moments with their peers. Beyond entertainment, the activities emphasized the importance of understanding and managing emotions, practicing self-care, building healthy social connections, and creating positive experiences within the school environment.
The activity also reinforced the message that mental health is an essential part of holistic learner development. Students were encouraged to develop self-awareness, compassion, mindfulness, and resilience—skills that can help them cope with challenges both inside and outside the classroom.
The Psychological Booth is part of PCNHS’s continuing School-Wide Prevention and Wellness Programs, which promote mindfulness, sports, arts, values formation, positive discipline, anti-bullying and drug prevention initiatives, as well as other mental health activities. Through these sustained efforts, the school aims to foster a more positive, inclusive, safe, and supportive school climate, while helping reduce behavioral concerns and strengthen the overall well-being of every learner.
With the collective efforts of the school’s mental health advocates, guidance personnel, student leaders, and psychology interns, the CARE Center continues to remind the school community that caring for the mind is an essential part of caring for the whole learner.
