United in Mission. United in Care.
The 1st General Assembly of the USAL Mental Health Advocates successfully brought together the Guidance Advocates and Homeroom Representatives from the Unified Schools of the Archdiocese of Lipa (USAL) in a shared commitment to advancing mental health, neurodiversity inclusion, and su***de prevention within our Catholic educational institutions.
The assembly served as a venue for collaboration, sharing of best practices, and the presentation of the USAL Strategic Program Manual for Mental Health, Neurodiversity, and Su***de Prevention - a unified framework that will guide our schools in creating safe, supportive, and nurturing learning environments.
This meaningful initiative is spearheaded by the USAL Technical Working Group, headed by Sr. Analiza Balita, MD, with Dr. Joan Kristel Adame and Dr. Audree Alday serving as key members of the team.
