“Be the cotton between sheets of glass to keep others from shattering.” — Saint Marie Eugenie of Jesus
Inspired by these words of our Mother Foundress and guided by our values and prime life abilities, Assumption College is one with the world in ensuring that mental health and wellbeing become a global priority.
As we celebrate #WorldMentalHealthDay, we continue to be committed to our community, especially to our students, in delivering constant care and support for the realities we all face every single day.
Awareness, kindness, and most importantly, empathy, allow us to consistently focus on programs, as well as mobilize efforts, in support of mental health. Essential social-emotional support such as specialized Guidance Counseling Services; while activities such as self-care webinars, workshops, recollections and retreats; and practices like mindfulness and loving-kindness meditations, reflections, “Kamustahan”s, and wellness breaks, are all in place to nourish one’s state of mind and help enhance quality of life. In the same way, our flagship Counseling and Assessment Services at Assumption or CASA (https://www.assumption.edu.ph/about-casa/), continues to provide a respite for all individuals, families, and organizations seeking counselling and wellness services.
Together, let us strengthen our response and move for mental health and wellbeing. Let us invest in it— making it a reality and a global priority for all.
