Stronger Minds, Better Lives: Mental Health and Self Management for Youth ๐ง ๐
Last Saturday, April 11, 2026, the youth of Barangay 2 gathered for a meaningful seminar about mental health and self management. It wasnโt just about listening to lectures but was about having honest conversations, sharing experiences, and learning simple ways to take care of ourselves in the middle of lifeโs pressures.
Through fun activities, reflections, and real-life discussions, our youth were reminded that stress is normal, emotions are valid, and asking for help is a sign of strengthโnot weakness. This program created a safe space where everyone could pause, breathe, and check in with themselves and with one another.
We are proud of every youth who showed up, participated, and took time to learn and reflect in this. Small steps like these can lead to stronger minds, healthier habits, and a more supportive community.
Thank you to our resource speaker, Ma'am Fe Polloso, RN, RM, for your valuable contribution to help raise awareness to the youth about mental health and self-management. To our Barangay Midwife, Ma'am Gina L. Pague for the unwavering support given. To the barangay officials, SK Officials, to our FI 2 Interns from BU-CSSP Social Work Department, and most especially to the youth who made this activity lively, engaging, and truly meaningful.
Hereโs to building stronger minds, better lives, and a community that cares for each other. ๐
