BSHS LINK Club Holds Culminating Activity, Mental Health Promoted

Bagong Silangan High School’s Lusog Isip Ng Kabataan Club (LINK Club) concluded its Mental Health Week with a culminating activity that aimed to promote mental health and well-being among the students on October 14, 2022.

Ms. Lea Guevarra, LINK club adviser, spearheaded the activity which involved various booths set up in the school to help identify and address the students’ mental health concerns.

At one booth, students were asked to share their deepest thoughts and feelings, while at others, they were encouraged to engage in activities that promote relaxation, such as yoga and meditation. There was also a booth where students received candies with inspiring messages that aimed to spread positivity and encouragement.

“Nagtayo po tayo ng mga different booths in our school diba, such as a booth to identify and address that um, what they felt on that day, what are their deepest thoughts and mga iba pang booth and we give some candies with some encouraging thoughts on it so we think that is a better activity to end Mental health week,” Ms. Guevarra said. Moreover, the club hopes that through such activities, students will not only feel supported in dealing with their mental health concerns, but will also feel empowered to help others.
