More Brighter Days Together🌈

And just like that, Mental Health Awareness Week comes to an end!

Let’s take a look back on the first day of this year’s MHAW; where memories were made, lessons were learned, and souls were healed.🫂

We thank the Philippine Mental Health Association, Inc. - Batangas Chapter, for joining in advocating for better mental health awareness and sharing this brighter day with us!💙

For People. For Freedom. For Fortitude.
Ad Astra, Sikolohiya!

✨ In every little hand, there is a story to share, a talent to discover, and a heart that deserves to be understood. 💗

What happens when fun, creativity, and meaningful connection come together? A memorable celebration filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable experiences! 🎨

In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week, the College of Health Care, together with BSP 3A is ready to spread happiness and make a difference through Project LIKHA (Leaving Impact and Kindling Hearts through Art) as we join hands together with Tanauan South Central School on October 23, 2026, for a day filled with exciting activities, creative expression, and joyful interactions.

This celebration is all about giving children a safe and welcoming space to express themselves, explore their creativity, discover their talents, and build meaningful connections. Through fun activities and shared experiences, we hope to remind every child that their feelings matter, their voices deserve to be heard, and their unique abilities are worth celebrating. Because every child deserves to smile, feel included, and shine in their own beautiful way.

Makatao. Mapagpalaya. Matatag.
Ad astra, Sikolohiya!

NEWS | 𝗖𝗛𝗖’𝘀 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗨𝗽 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝗻 C𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆

October 10, 2026—the Department of Psychology commenced the Light Up Blue, celebrated yearly across the nation, spearheaded by the Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA) for World Mental Health Day, recognized globally by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The event took place at the ASEAN Promenade, with Dean Diane Cherie Velecina, Dean of the College of Health Care, encouraging everyone to break the stigma on mental health, emphasizing that everyone is heard, seen, and valued.

It was then followed by the writing of encouraging messages for the Blue Box of Hope, accompanied by the light-up proper jamming to song covers by The FAITH Colleges Instrumentalist.

The event’s project head, Ron Torres, shared that leading this year’s Light Up Blue gave him the realization that there are people out there who carry something heavy throughout their days, and they do it in silence, hence still give out a smile.

Torres also shared that this event isn’t only about lighting up blue lights around the campus. “It’s about lighting up the dark. It’s about showing people they don’t carry heavy things alone. Their thoughts and feelings matter.” Torres shared.

Rhaze Amutan, a 2nd-year student, also shared how the Light Up Blue event can help raise awareness and support within the community.

“The inclusiveness is a great way to create a safe space for everyone and break the stigma around mental health for the community and make people feel empowered and accepted,” Amutan shared.

The event serves as a reminder to everyone of the importance of prioritizing theirselves in the middle of hardships, and becoming the light to those in need.
