SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH 💙

This September, the Peer Facilitators Guild stands with everyone in promoting hope, understanding, and compassion. Sometimes, a simple conversation, a listening ear, or a small act of kindness can make a difference in someone’s life.

🗣️ TALK — Reach out. Start the conversation.
🤝 SUPPORT — Listen without judgment. Be the reason someone keeps going.
💙 CARE — Small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Let’s build a community where no one feels alone and everyone knows that it’s okay to ask for help. Your feelings matter, and you matter. 🌱

For our fellow Paulinian students, please remember that you are always welcome to visit the Guidance Office if you need someone to talk to, someone to listen, or simply a safe space to be heard. You don’t have to go through difficult moments alone. 💙

Delegates from the Peer Facilitators Guild (PFG) of St. Paul University Surigao joined student leaders and guidance professionals across Mindanao for "PeerKada Vibe: Building Healthy Connections, Nurturing Inclusive, and Supportive Spaces," held August 5–6 at Hotel Oasiz, Butuan City.

Representing SPUS were PFG President and fourth-year BS Psychology student Marichen M. Labola, alongside Mr. Criskem B. Baba, Guidance Associate and College Department PFG Moderator.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Office of Student Development and Services organized the two-day regional training in partnership with the Unilab Foundation through HeadsUpPH, gathering participants from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the Caraga and Region X clusters.

The program aimed to equip peer facilitators with practical skills to establish and strengthen institutional peer support systems. Interactive sessions covered core topics, including mental health literacy and healthy communication, peer group development and facilitation fundamentals, referral mechanisms, supervision, and self-care, as well as advocacy and strategic partnership-building.

Mental health professionals and peer support advocates from Far Eastern University (FEU) and the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) facilitated the training, sharing best practices from their respective institutional wellness programs.

The delegates plan to apply their learnings to SPUS's campus initiatives by expanding mental health awareness programs, enhancing peer-helping services, and fostering a safer, more inclusive environment for the Paulinian community.
