Guites National High School Joins the 2026 Mental Health Awareness Celebration
Guites, Lopez, Quezonโ In support of the 2026 Mental Health Awareness Celebration with the theme โLAKAS ISIP: A Movement for Mental Health and Well-Being,โGuites National High School reaffirmed its commitment to promoting mental health awareness and overall well-being among learners and school personnel.
As a symbol of support for the advocacy, some learners and school personnel wore green shirts to express their solidarity with the campaign and raise awareness about the importance of mental health. ๐
During the celebration, the schoolโs Health Coordinator, Maโam Rochelle E. Legario, shared a brief explanation about the significance of mental health awareness. She emphasized the importance of understanding emotions, caring for oneโs well-being, and showing empathy and support to others.
Meanwhile, mental health awareness was integrated into the Life and Career Skills subject under the guidance of the School Mental Health Focal Person, Maโam Connie R. Ladesma. The activity focused on the importance of maintaining mental and physical health in the workplace as an employee, as well as achieving a healthy life and career balance. Learners were encouraged to reflect on how self-care, stress management, and balancing personal responsibilities with professional demands contribute to overall well-being and productivity.
As part of the learning activities, some learners also wrote essays on Mental Health (Kalusugang Pangkaisipan), expressing their insights on the importance of protecting mental health and promoting a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Through these meaningful initiatives, Guites National High School continues to foster a school community that values understanding, compassion, and holistic well-being. The celebration serves as a reminder that taking care of our mental and physical health is essential in building healthier relationships, making responsible decisions, and preparing for a balanced and fulfilling career.
Speak up. Listen. Support. Care. ๐ฟ
Together, let us strengthen minds, nurture hearts, and build a community where everyoneโs mental health and well-being matter.
