On September 19, the Psych Society was named among the outstanding awardees under the Best Youth Organization and Youth-Serving Organization category, receiving the Siglat Merit Award during the La Union Youth Excellence Service Awards 2026.

The award acknowledges the efforts behind the Mind Matters Series 2025, the support of its partner organizations and the student body who supported the initiative.

Beyond the recognition is a simple message: the human mind is delicate, complex, and deserving of care. Every thought deserves to be acknowledged, every voice deserves to be heard, and every person deserves a space where their experiences matter.

You and your mind matters.

In observance of Su***de Prevention Month, the Psych Society set up an interactive corner at the CAS Lobby on September 9, 2026, promoting safe space, connection, and emotional well-being.

The initiative emphasized the importance of compassion, community support, and breaking the stigma surrounding su***de. It sought to remind everyone that no one has to face their battles alone, encouraging individuals to speak, listen, and reach out. May we all remember that even in the darkest moments, dawn will come.

On World Su***de Prevention Day, let’s look beyond the smiles, listen beyond the words, and remind one another that asking for help is not a weakness. Your story is not over, and 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.

The darkest moments may feel endless, but they are not forever. You are worthy of love, rest, hope, and brighter days ahead. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆. You may never know how much your presence means to someone.

Check in with one another and lead with kindness, patience, and understanding. A simple “how are you?” or “I’m here for you” can mean more than we realize. Sometimes, a small act of kindness can be a powerful step toward prevention. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀, 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

September is Self-Care Awareness Month, where we recognize that you are your inner thoughts and behaviors.

Psychmates, battling life is hard. But dealing with life while lacking personal growth, sacrificing your emotional well-being and mental health is much scarier.

Be conscious in your own self. For knowing who you really are, is to know what really motivates you and makes you happy.

Meditate, Reflect, and Give yourself a YOU time.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to carry out everyday activities (Kumar et al., 2024).

This Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, let us learn to recognize the signs and extend patience and compassion to individuals living with Alzheimer’s. Even when names and moments slip away, the feeling of safety and connection remains. Today and every day, let’s be the memory keepers and surround those who forget with care and support.

Behind every forgotten name or repeated story is a person who still deserves to be seen, heard, and valued.
