Sharing my teacher thoughts this time.

My Gender and Society class was just done talking about SOGIE, issues and inquiry on Gender, S*x, and S*xuality and its impact in society. This is my 2nd time inviting my students to create their own Gender Mandala highlighting a person's multilevel and multidimensional context just like culture's influence.

My Understanding the Self class was able to understand the role of the self in building connections, forming relationships, socialization, and how these co-creates the social self through the .

I'm glad to know these activities were enjoyable and worked well for my classes.

Hopefully, educators go beyond the lectures and be creative. While all information are found so easily now all over the internet, its time to let the students experience some stuff for themselves. It requires educators to adapt to the times, be creative and facilitative. My hope is also for the government to focus on developing and enhancing the educational institutions so teachers can actually teach and not deal with other things unrelated to their work.

The Complete State Model of Mental Health, proposed by Corey Keyes, explains that mental health is more than just the absence of illness. It also includes the presence of positive well-being. Keyes described well-being in three areas: emotional (happiness and life satisfaction), psychological (purpose, growth, and self-acceptance), and social (connection and belonging). When these are considered alongside the presence or absence of mental illness, different states emerge. A person may be flourishing if they have high well-being and no illness, or languishing if they feel low even without a disorder. Some may struggle with illness but still find meaning, while others may flounder with both illness and low well-being.

This model shows us that true mental health involves not only reducing problems but also building strengths and positive connections. It also leaves us with an important question.

Is living without illness enough, or should we aim for something more like a life that feels meaningful, connected, and truly alive?

Like, follow, and share. Thank you!

The biopsychosocial model of mental health is a way of understanding that our mental health is not shaped by just one thing, but by many parts of our lives working together. On the biological side, our brain chemistry, genetics, and even illnesses in the body can influence how we feel and think. On the psychological side, our mindset, coping skills, and past experiences matter a lot. For example, someone who tends to think negatively or who has gone through trauma may be more vulnerable to stress. On the social side, the environment and people around us have a big impact. Relationships, culture, money problems, or feeling supported by others can either protect or harm our mental health.

What makes this model meaningful is that it looks at a person as a whole. It reminds us that mental health is not just “in the brain” or “in the mind,” but is shaped by how our body, mind, and social world interact every day.

Sharing this photo I got from one of my colleagues in the university and a directress of a private school whom I shared my services on School based PFA for her school.

I'm happy to know that the information I also useful and essential for the maintenance staff of the school. I just hope that next time, they will also have their seats and take part of the dialogue. Including the security officers.

Mental Health is a SHARED responsibility. 💕
