On October 18, 2023, the City College of Cagayan de Oro (CCCDO), in partnership with the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD) - Psychosocial Unit and the City Scholarship Office (CSO), organized a full-day mental wellness workshop titled โ€œRe-Echoing Life: Living in a Facilitative Environmentโ€ at the Annex Agusan Campus. The event, attended by faculty and non-teaching staff, aimed to equip participants with practical knowledge and skills to cultivate a supportive environment that prioritizes mental health and suicide prevention.

In the morning session, Mr. Rousell B. Ferrer, MA, RPm, Admissions and Placement Officer of the CSO, gave an insightful overview of mental health, discussing the factors influencing mental well-being. Mr. Ferrer also debunked 10 common myths about mental health, including the misconception that โ€œthere is no hope for people with mental health issues.โ€ He emphasized that many individuals with mental health concerns can improve and recover, especially with support from friends and family.

The afternoon session, led by Ms. Erl Kathleen Marie C. Antimano, RPm, and Mr. Paolo Ryan Adoraflor, MAPsy, RPm, of the CSWD, focused on basic counseling techniques and supportive communication. Participants were trained to recognize warning signs, practice active listening, and understand how body language contributes to creating a compassionate, culturally sensitive environment.

The City College of CDO extends its sincere gratitude to the CSWD-Psychosocial Unit and the CSO for their invaluable contributions. Through meaningful discussions, the workshop provided participants with practical tools and insights to foster a more mentally healthy, supportive community.
