The activity was spearheaded by CAS Dean Dr. Annbeth B. Calla, Institutional CRES Director Prof. Cristina C. Ariate, and CAS CRES Coordinator Prof. Annie Mana-ay, with the active participation of CAS students and the special presence of RMC President Dr. Evelyn A. Magno.
The outreach program featured a meaningful series of activities designed to promote mental well-being, civic awareness, and psychosocial development among members of the school community. The Mental Health Awareness Seminar, facilitated by Prof. Zedney Villados, Program Head of the Psychology Department, focused on helping participants understand the importance of mental well-being, recognize signs of emotional distress, and develop healthy coping strategies. Meanwhile, the Votersโ Education Seminar, conducted by Prof. Jaspher Jade Baliscao, Liberal Arts Coordinator, provided valuable information on responsible citizenship, the significance of voting, and the importance of making informed decisions as voters.
In addition, a psychosocial activity was conducted for the pupils, providing them with a safe, enjoyable, and supportive environment where they could express themselves, interact with their peers, and participate in engaging activities that fostered positive emotions, social connections, and overall emotional well-being.
The successful implementation of these activities demonstrated RMC’s continuing commitment to serving its adopted community through education, mental health promotion, civic engagement, and psychosocial support, all anchored in ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐จ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ (๐๐๐) # ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ-๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ and #๐๐: ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐, ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ.
