Let’s take a walk down memory lane.. 👥

Now in its 11th year, MLAC Institute’s Parenting Academy turns to the theme: 🌱 Raising our Children as Empowered Nation-Builders, featuring Drs. Honey and Chris Carandang, and a youth panel, on August 9, 2025 (9:30 AM - 11:00 AM) at the Mind Museum in BGC, Taguig City 📍

We also had the honor in previous years to gather with fellow advocates of youth mental health, engaging in conversations of parenting, play, healing, and nation-building that reaches across the generations 🏡

As we look ahead to this year’s event, MLAC Institute invites you to revisit these precious moments captured from Parenting Academy 10.

We hope to see you then 💖

How do you give yourself time to be mindful? How do you give yourself space to rest? 🤲

Dr. Honey Carandang recently shared her earnest insights at the LEAP 2025: Moments of Mindfulness Talk in De la Salle University 🌱 It was a discussion that resonated with the students' efforts to remain present in oneself and cultivate awareness amid the relentless busyness of our days.

We would like to express our sincerest thanks to the Samahan ng mga Mag-aaral sa Sikolohiya for organizing and facilitating the event. It was such a gift to hold this session with the college students! 💝

We encourage you to observe and simply let yourself be, especially as most students start the new school year.. We hope to see you in our next events soon 🫂

Happy July!

Reflecting on one of the most meaningful collaborations we had in the 1st half of the year was our collaboration with the National Center for Mental Health. 💚

Dr Honey Carandang delivered a talk on spirituality and mental health, and how this relates to practice. 🪷

This made for such a beautiful open forum on clinical experiences and the human experience of mental conditions and healing. 🙏🏽

Heartfelt thanks to the Office of Professional Education, Training, and Research for organizing this learning exchange with 100+ psychiatrists and psychologists to highlight the importance of the biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to clinical practice. ✨️

Kamusta ka na, Nanay at Tatay? 💬

Last May 17 and June 3, we paused and spent quality time with almost 200 mothers, fathers, and parent-figures of Quezon City and Laguna. 😌

"Parenting is Nation-Building" indeed! The day for Mothers, Fathers, and parent-figures made more meaningful because of community and collaboration, talking about caring for ourselves so we can be fully present and show up for our loved ones, esp our children. 💝

Heartfelt gratitude to our partner, GMA Kapuso Foundation, for helping us bring critical mental health awareness to parents who truly benefit from psychosocial support. 🙏🏽
