Education Secretary Leonor Briones, in DepEd Memorandum No. 132 s. 2019, asked school officials of all public elementary and high schools to conduct various activities related to the Mental Health Day celebrated every October 10 and in line with the Mental Health Awareness Week which is observed every second week of October pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 452 s. 1994.
In this year’s celebration of World Mental Health Day and National Mental Health Week, Briones directed DepEd’s central, regional, schools division offices, and schools to “conduct activities” for employees, learners, parents, and/or other concerned stakeholders to “promote mental health and raise awareness on related issues.
In 2018, DepEd spearheaded the first School Mental Health Forum in an effort to provide a venue to discuss recent researches, updates, initiatives, issues, and concerns related to mental health, especially in the school context. DepEd noted that it has been initiating significant efforts to ensure the health and well-being of both the personnel and learners, in partnership with various agencies and organizations.
