31/10/2025

🌟 The 𝘼𝙄𝙈𝙎 𝙋𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨 proudly carried the banner of the institution as they took part in the 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - 𝗣𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 (𝗣𝗚𝗖𝗔-𝗣𝗢𝗣) held on 𝑶𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝟒, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 (𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚) at 𝑺𝒕. 𝑷𝒂𝒖𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒆, 𝑷𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒈. With the inspiring theme, “𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡: 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭,” the event served as a valuable avenue to celebrate collaboration, unity, and the vital role of peer organizations in shaping emotionally resilient communities. 💚

The conference offered an enriching experience for the participants to connect with fellow peer facilitators nationwide, share meaningful insights, and deepen their understanding of promoting mental health awareness, empathy, and student well-being. Through this engagement, the facilitators were reminded of their shared mission — to foster a culture of compassion and mutual support among the youth. 💭✨

Indeed, the experience reaffirmed that genuine care begins with listening, understanding, and being present for others. With renewed passion and purpose, the 𝘼𝙄𝙈𝙎 𝙋𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨 continue to uphold the values of empathy, unity, and empowerment — one peer at a time. 🌱🤝

In every catastrophe, every mind deserves care. This 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, AIMS Peer Facilitators stand with the global call for accessible mental health services for all—especially in 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒔 and 𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒔.

🧠 Behind every statistic is a soul.
A person curled inward, arms wrapped around knees, silent, unseen, but not unworthy of care.

💔 Whether it’s the aftermath of a typhoon, the chaos of conflict, or the quiet ache of isolation, mental health support must be present, visible, and reachable.

— 1 in 5 people in conflict zones suffer mental health conditions
— Less than 1% of health budgets go to mental health
— Support prevents long-term suffering and builds resilience

🌍 This year’s theme focus on natural disasters, armed conflicts, and health emergencies—calls us to act. Because HEALING THE MIND is just as vital as rebuilding what’s lost. Because everyone deserves to be heard, held, and helped.

💬 How can we help?
— Talk openly
— Listen without judgment
— Share resources
— Advocate for care

Let's be the voice that breaks the silence, be the hands that reach out one another, and be the living reminder that mental health matters.

✨ SAFE SPACE, SAFE FUTURE ✨

The Safe Space Act reminds us of our shared responsibility to make spaces where dignity, equality, and respect are not negotiable. Everyone should feel safe, heard, and seen in school, the workplace, and online platforms.

To promote awareness, we have shared essential gender-related terms to deepen our understanding and embrace inclusivity. Language shapes our perspective; learning makes us more compassionate, respectful, and united.
