 "It is okay to not be okay. What matters is knowing that you are never alone."

Hope begins when someone listens. Healing begins when someone cares. Change begins when a community chooses to stand together.

The Center for Guidance Services and Testing (CGST) of Central Mindanao Colleges (CMC) officially launched its month-long mental health awareness campaign, “Kaya Pa Today: A Month of Hope and Support,” on May 30, 2026, at the Students' Activity Center.

The activity brought together students, employees, and representatives from various student organizations to promote mental wellness, emotional well-being, and a culture of support within the academic community.

The opening program featured Mr. Renz Wally Amualla, Guidance-in-Charge, as the resource speaker. He shared valuable insights on mental health awareness, self-care, emotional wellness, and the importance of seeking help when facing academic, workplace, and personal challenges.

During his presentation, he emphasized the importance of understanding one's emotions, developing healthy coping strategies, and building supportive relationships.

"Mental health is not a sign of weakness but a reflection of our humanity. It is part of what makes us human. When people know they have someone to listen, understand, and support them, it becomes easier to face life's challenges with hope and courage."

The launch marked the beginning of a series of psychoeducational sessions, wellness campaigns, interactive discussions, and engagement activities throughout the month. These initiatives aim to increase awareness of mental health concerns, encourage healthy coping practices, and strengthen resilience among students and employees.

Recognizing the pressures experienced in academic and workplace settings, the campaign promotes open conversations about mental health, reduces stigma, and strengthens awareness of available support systems.

The initiative supports:

SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being
SDG 4 – Quality Education
SDG 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions

The program also aligns with the institution's wellness initiatives under KRA 10 and KPI 10.1.5, focusing on participation in mental health promotion and wellness programs.

Through “Kaya Pa Today: A Month of Hope and Support,” the Center for Guidance Services and Testing continues to advance mental health awareness and wellness within the institution, reflecting Central Mindanao Colleges' commitment to creating a supportive environment where students and employees are encouraged to care for their mental well-being, seek assistance when needed, and contribute to a campus culture grounded in respect, understanding, and mutual support.
