The BukSU CARES Unit conducted a Wellness Session on January 9, 2026, at Bean Zone Café–Kibalabag, Malaybalay City, to open the new year with purposeful reflection, renewal, and psychological readiness. The session provided academic leaders a space to restore emotional balance as they align themselves with the university’s strategic goals.

Grounded in evidence-based psychological principles, the activity gathered college deans, department chairpersons, and heads of academic support units under the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Through guided dialogue and reflection, participants examined personal and organizational stressors, strengthened self-awareness and emotional regulation, and reinforced collective resilience, highlighting mental well-being and psychological safety as essential to effective and compassionate academic leadership.
