YASCI participated in the Youth Depression Awareness Seminar held on April 7–8, 2025, at West Avenue Suites, an important initiative organized by the Caloocan City Local Youth Development Office (LYDO).
This two-day seminar served as a powerful platform for raising awareness and deepening our understanding of youth mental health. The sessions were filled with expert-led plenary talks that tackled pressing issues surrounding mental wellness in today’s generation. Highlights of the event included:
- Navigating Challenges: Understanding Youth Depression
- Breaking the Stigma on Mental Health
- Mental Health Begins with You
- Seeking Help: Therapy, Support Networks, and Resources for Recovery
Our participation in this event was both timely and meaningful, as it reaffirmed our commitment to supporting the emotional and psychological well-being of our learners. The insights and strategies shared during the seminar will be cascaded to the YASCI community, helping us foster a more compassionate, responsive, and informed school environment.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the Caloocan City LYDO for inviting us to be part of this transformative event. Your continued advocacy for youth mental health plays a crucial role in empowering our students to speak up, seek help, and support one another.
Together, let us continue to promote mental wellness and create safe spaces where our youth can thrive — emotionally, mentally, and socially.
