🌱 Grow Through What You Go Through: Finding Balance, Healing, and Hope

Even as the earth beneath us shook in recent days, we are reminded that life, too, brings moments that can leave us unsettled. Yet through it all, we find strength in one another, in faith, and in hope.

During our Mental Health Awareness Celebration, our speakers shared heartfelt wisdom that touched every heart in the room — messages of resilience, balance, and healing that remind us that growth often comes not in spite of our struggles, but because of them.

They reminded us that it’s okay to not be okay, that asking for help is a sign of courage, and that healing takes time.

In a world that can shake us to our core, may we always find the courage to stand firm, heal gently, and grow deeply.

Together, let us continue to create safe spaces for understanding, compassion, and hope , because mental health matters, always. 🌿

In light of the recent earthquakes, we understand that many may still feel anxious, shaken, or unsettled.

Please know that you are not alone. The Guidance Office is here to listen, support, and help you find peace of mind through Psychological First-Aid (PFA) session.

𝙈𝙀𝙀𝙏 𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙎𝙋𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙀𝙍𝙎✨

Every challenge we face tells a story — one of courage, growth, and finding light even in the darkest days. This year, we’re bringing together an inspiring group of speakers who will share powerful stories and practical lessons on how to care for our minds, nurture our hearts, and build a community where no one feels alone. 🌤️

Through their voices, we will journey into the beauty of balance, learn how to turn struggles into strength, and discover that healing is not a destination but a process — one we take together.

Let their wisdom remind us that it’s okay to pause. It’s okay to ask for help. And most of all, it’s okay to grow at our own pace.

Join us as we listen, reflect, and celebrate the power of understanding, self-compassion, and hope. Let’s make this event more than just a celebration — let’s make it a movement of care and connection. 💚

Date: October 8, 2025
Venue: FATHER URIOS CULTURAL CENTER

SEE YOU THERE!

World Mental Health Day serves as a meaningful reminder that mental well-being is just as important as academic achievement.

This year’s celebration, anchored on the theme “𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙂𝙤 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝: 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙚,” reminds us that every challenge we face — whether it’s stress, failure, pressure, or uncertainty — can become an opportunity to learn and become stronger. It means that instead of being defeated by our struggles, we can use them as stepping stones for personal growth and self-awareness.

“𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚” refers to maintaining harmony between school, rest, relationships, and self-care — knowing when to pause, breathe, and take care of one’s well-being.

“𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜” speaks of the courage to acknowledge pain or stress and take steps toward recovery — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

“𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙚” represents the light that guides us through challenges, reminding us that no matter how difficult a situation may seem, there is always a way forward and people who care.

Overall, this theme inspires us to face life’s ups and downs with courage, patience, and optimism — trusting that every experience can lead to growth when met with balance, healing, and hope.

By engaging in this celebration, YOU are encouraged to take care of your mental health, reach out when you need support, and stand with others who may be struggling. The event serves as a reminder that growth is not always linear — it happens in moments of reflection, connection, and perseverance. Together, the school community strives to cultivate a culture where wellness, empathy, and understanding flourish.

SEE YOU THIS OCTOBER 8, 2025!
