The UP Diliman Psychosocial Services (UPD PsycServ) was established in October 2017 as a special project under the Office of the Chancellor. This is in line with the quest of โTransforming UP into a Nurturing and Healthy University.โ UPD PsycServ is composed of licensed psychologists and highly trained clinical psychology graduate students that provide free mental health and psychosocial wellbeing services to the UP Diliman community.
Guided by a six-component approach (e.g. services, learning, consultation, systems, research, and advocacy) in promoting mental health and wellbeing called GINHAWA: Working Towards Well Being. UPD PsycServ gives importance in nurturing resilience and growth, alongside addressing risks and vulnerabilities, among students, faculty, and staff.
UPD PsycServ provides the following services: Individual Therapy Sessions, Relapse Prevention Group Therapy Sessions, Su***de Prevention and Postvention Programs, Training Workshops, and Personal Wellbeing Workshops. The project is also engaged in different research and advocacy work.
When Luzon was placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine, UPD PsycServ expanded its services to accommodate Filipinos who have been affected and/or disturbed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychosocial Support Volunteers were mobilized to ensure wider reach and timelier support.
