𝘿𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 is a serious mental health condition affecting 280 million people worldwide, which is more common among women than men. (World Health Organization, 2018) It can deeply impact how a person feel, think and manage day-to-day life, making even simple moments feel heavy. 🧠

When someone reaches out, even in small ways, it takes courage. 🤝 Friends and love ones can make a huge difference by listening, offering kindness and encouraging support. Let’s break the stigma, share hope and remind them that they don't have to face this alone. 🫂🌱

If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out is a brave and important step towards healing. 🌿🌻

The Guidance and Counseling Office, in partnership with the Human Resources and Management Office, held a “Building Teacher-Student Connections: Basic Counseling Seminar-Workshop” at the Hall A Training Center on September 26, 2025. The activity was participated in by twenty-six (26) newly hired teachers of MSU - Maguindanao, including Parang and Paglat Campuses.

The seminar-workshop provided educators with practical counseling strategies to promote the emotional and psychological well-being of students. Through sessions on active listening, empathy, identifying distress signals, and appropriate referral, participants gained a deeper understanding of the teacher’s vital role as a frontline advocate for mental health and holistic student development.

This initiative not only strengthens teacher-student relationships but also cultivates inclusive, responsive, and emotionally safe learning environments where every learner can thrive.

The Guidance and Counseling Office extends its sincere gratitude to Chancellor Bai Hejira Nefertiti M. Limbona and her administration for their steadfast support of its programs and advocacies.
