With every shared story and listening heart, the gathering became more than a seminar—it became a sanctuary.

Yesterday, 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, held within the CTU-Gymnasium, the Association of Psychology Students, joined by the steadfast presence of the Cebutech Peer Facilitators Guild, opened the Su***de Prevention Month Seminar-Workshop with intention and care. Together, we held space for dialogue, healing, and hope.

As voices rose and compassion flowed, APS honored the quiet strength of community. The event was not just written—it was felt. And in its unfolding, we walk toward a future where no one journeys alone.

Happy Birthday, Frans! Or Cesca... Or just Francesca hehe 😅
To our very own Mass Media Officer who is scarily good at catching even the tiniest details. Your iconic line, “𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤-𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘢,” has never failed us — because you really do make magic happen. ✨

You’ve been a light and guide to the whole creative team. And yes, also a 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺… but the kind we’d never trade for anything. Your mix of kindness, humor, and talent makes you one of a kind.

We honestly couldn’t imagine the APS fam without you. From your insane skills in crafting, video editing, film, videography, dancing, layouting, and so much more — you do it all with so much heart and style.

So today, we hope you feel all the love you deserve. Enjoy every moment of your day, laugh a lot, eat good food, and remember how much you’re appreciated. 𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝙙𝙖𝙮, 𝘾𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙖. 𝙒𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪! 💚🤍

Angel speaks with clarity and writes with conscience. Her words—whether penned for the public or shared in quiet conversation—carry both precision and heart. She listens with intent, advises with grace, and moves through each day with a quiet strength that uplifts those around her.

In every story she tells and every space she enters, she brings a rare blend of insight and empathy—reminding us that truth, when delivered with care, can be transformative.

On this special day, may you be surrounded by the same warmth and sincerity you offer so generously. Wishing you continued purpose, peace, and fulfillment in every chapter you write—both on the page and in life.

This September, as the world unites for Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, we offer this gentle reminder: your story matters, your soul matters. 🌸

French sociologist Emile Durkheim, in his groundbreaking study Le Su***de (1897), reminds us that su***de isn’t just a personal act — it’s deeply tied to the world we live in. When people feel disconnected, isolated, or overwhelmed by societal pressures, their pain can grow in silence.

By wearing this frame, we, the CTU–Association of Psychology Students and the CebuTech Peer Facilitators Guild, stand united as a beacon of light and compassion. It’s our way of saying: “Wala ka nag-inusara. Naa mi diri. Naa’y maminaw nimo, naa’y muuban nimo.” 🫂

Let’s fill our timelines with love, hope, and kindness as we honor this month.
Because your life, your dreams, and 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧.

LIGHT DOES NOT FALTER; HOPE FIGHTS FIERCELY. ✨
Some moments feel like you’re carrying the whole world. Some days may feel agonizing and dull. And some past horrors still linger, haunting the present — but even the tiniest spark of hope can illuminate the pitch-black skies.

I, [𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘦], wear this frame as a reminder to myself and others that even in the hardest — or quietest — battles, you are never alone on the battlefield. 🤍 Together, let’s break the silence, fight the stigma, and stand hand in hand with those who feel unseen and unheard.

This Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, may we enkindle light and cascade love, until hope flows endlessly through our timelines, our circles, and our hearts. -`♡´-

– 𝘙𝘩𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘋. 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘳

Depth favors to those who seek
Silence is a colorful invitation
In painting the wildest devotion
A canvas draped in mediocre delusion

Years could not earn culture
To believing an absolute truth
Hardened by inner motivation
As time weakens thy imagination

Remember, old folk, the being of your being
The last of your kind in the making
"Happiness is a state of mind"
Could be a cage deemed unkind

Spare everything but not a mockingjay
Master in its hymns of sweet symphony.
Triumphant and trusted to twist terrible times
Of sunken sunsets submerged and sublimed

Comes the den's wall provoking pareidolia
Triggering motives beyond euphoria
Tricky tricks driving dysphoria
Beast to all, not to a mockingkay's eunoia

Until the rhythms become noises
And its feathers are camouflage
Its wisdom is an intimidating disease
And its obedience pertains manipulation.
All is nothing but a miserable insubordination
Unsustaining olive oils used to light the Athens.
As the center of the world's arts and science
To preserve the haunting voice within the old's conscience

Knowledge is power but wisdom is rebellion
Could the old folk caged the mockingjay
Until it stops singing the truth as condition.

On the old folk's behalf to set him free
For the cage is not old folk's torture
But taking away the lore to think its identity.
Similarly written in outdated scriptures
Desperately believing the existence of a mockingjay

Hence, this is a never-ending allegory
In search of god, gold, and glory
To theorize or disagree such dying destiny
Perception is sharper than reality

In observance of 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, we gather to break the silence surrounding su***de—one of the leading causes of death among young people. Guided by the triannual theme, “𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦,” this workshop invites us to listen deeply, respond compassionately, and advocate boldly.

Together, we’ll explore the realities of suicidal ideation, recognize the signs often missed, and learn how to create safe spaces where unspoken pain is met with empathy—not judgment. In line with 𝗥𝗔 𝟭𝟭𝟬𝟯𝟲, we commit to nurturing a culture of care, awareness, and proactive support within our academic community.

Because silence does not mean safety.
Because every unspoken struggle deserves to be heard.
Because change begins when we choose to listen.

– 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘯 || 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘻𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘴

I like to think that I'm in control but I'm actually not. Maybe you aren't either. That's why we pretend: about our academic standing, the hobbies we find pleasing, our jobs, our ideal group of friends, and everything else that would feel messy if we admitted we don't have it figured out.

Pretending seems like the easiest way to appear normal, yet also feels like bars of soap we grip too hard in our hands, it would rather break than simply slip. But maybe I am too presumptuous, too self-absorbed, to believe that everyone pretends so l much like I do. Maybe not everyone feigns idiocy like a passing summer shower. Maybe not everyone pretends just to silence the anxious thoughts of not being "human enough", of feeling estranged from her own skin, of searching desperately for a place to belong. Maybe not everyone has to pretend they are good at something, when their life has been spent compensating for what they lacked rather than living out what they do best.

So do spare me, the child in me, who only knew how to painstakingly "outdo" others and live beyond her own achievements. Pardon me for I have been programmed to think that if others can, then so must I. Forgive me for I have always been Anxiety.

I have always been the one to overthink, to try harder, and to put things under my control. I think ahead of myself, and imagine beyond what could happen. I hold my breath in situations that threaten the fragile image I tried so hard to maintain.

I’m sorry because I have always been Anxiety. I allow myself to fill up my mental space until murmurs become screams because it just feels safer that way. It feels safer to never let my guard down, nor think fondly and simply of life.

But here's the truth: I don’t want to be Anxiety. I don’t want to be the anti-heroine of my own life I carefully curated. I want to be a simple young adult enjoying every second because that’s how it should be. I don't want to be built as Anxiety, controlled by it— I want to be someone who regulates it.

How about you? Are you Anxiety too?
If Riley had Joy, her mother had Sadness, and her father had Anger, who has you under control?

Every 10th day of September, the world unites to mark a day that is brought with hope, light, and compassion — a core part of World Su***de Prevention Month. This global acknowledgment is a proof that su***de is not just an individual issue, but a worldwide concern.

Sadly, more than 720, 000 people take their own lives every year. According to the World Health Organization(WHO), su***de is the third leading cause of death among 15–29 year olds. The reasons are multi-faceted, influenced by social, cultural, biological, psychological, and environmental factors present across the life course.

The World Su***de Prevention Day is not just a time to raise awareness about the issue, but also a moment to remind us that our mental health matters — that every one of us matters. A call for us to spread kindness and empathy, because we never know what struggles someone might be facing. Not all battles are loud and furious; sometimes they are fought in silence and isolation. They can be hidden behind a cheerful classmate’s smile, a talkative friend’s energy, or an instructor’s composed demeanor despite stress.

We can’t simply ask someone who’s drowning to reach out and expect them to save themselves. Instead, we have to prevent them from reaching a point where they feel like drowning is their only option. May we be the reason why someone believes in hope — not just today, but every day. And most of all, may we never forget that we are worthy of love and care too. Asking for help is never a sign of weakness.
