Despite the number of people suffering from the “silent destroyer” a.k.a depression, mental health is still considered a taboo to some, a restricted societal topic, if not a defying issue to most. However, it cannot be denied that this has become a pressing concern in the recent years with the growing number of cases with mental health issues. This is the reason a program was created by STI College Muñoz-EDSA run by some selected members of its Psyclique Society (the official club of AB Psychology students) to create awareness, build avenues for wellness, and empower individuals to win over their mental health battles.

This Mental Health Awareness Program is titled “Sinong (Hindi) Baliw” to eradicate the stigma the society has when it comes to discussing the topic. Mental health is as vital as any other fitness and wellness program. We just have to look for ways on how we could educate ourselves and be mindful of its causes, as well as the possible ways on how we could prevent it.

This empowerment program is a whole day workshop dedicated to one’s understanding of self, leading to a positive outlook in life. For inquiries, please call 9208645.
