1. What does Mental Health Awareness Week aim to accomplish?

It all comes down to having a dialogue about mental health and the
factors in our daily lives that can have an impact on it. Every year, we
try to get as many people - individuals, communities, and
governments - to consider the week's subject and how it pertains to
their personal and professional life.

2. I have learned that taking our mental health has a huge impact on
our selves and everyday life. We need to monitor our mental health to
live a healthy lifestyle.

3. I won't let things or other people to stress me out. I'll give myself
some downtime so I won't be anxious about everything going on
around me. I should be mentally healthy as a BEED student so that I
can learn and one day instruct students in the classroom without
experiencing issues with stress or depression. Since I am the only one
who is aware of what is happening within my head, I should always
keep an eye on myself and take good care of myself.

4. Well, as of today, I have. I'm anxious about the midterms and my

history class since I'm finding it challenging to remember a lot of
material from many different chapters. Some of the material we
examined may not be covered in the midterm exam because we don't
have any pointers. But even though I'm worried about it, I'll give
myself some time to unwind and let out some of the stress that has
been building up inside of me. Since I would never be able to
memorize those lengthy chapters even with notes, I will just listen to
music and watch some movies to help me relax.

stressing myself out would only give me mental problems and not
solve any of my problems.

6. Poor physical health can raise the chance of developing mental

health issues. Mental health concerns can have a significant impact
on all aspects of life, including school or work performance,
relationships with family and friends, and participation in society.
Similar to how poor physical health can harm mental health, it can
increase the chance of certain conditions.

7. Respect yourself:

Avoid self-criticism and be gentle and respectful to yourself. Consider

expanding your horizons or scheduling more of your favorite pursuits
and activities. Do a crossword puzzle every day, start a garden, learn
to dance, pick up an instrument, or master a foreign language.

Be in the company of moral people:

Healthier individuals tend to be those with strong social or family ties

as opposed to those with no such network. Plan events with
empathetic family members and friends, or look for opportunities to
socialize with new people at a club, class, or support group.

Learn coping mechanisms for stress:

Stress is a natural part of life, like it or not. Practice healthy coping

mechanisms by using Tai Chi, One-Minute Stress Strategies, exercise,
nature walks, pet play, or journal writing as a stress reliever. Also,
don't forget to laugh and find the funny in everything. According to
studies, laughing can improve your immune system, lower stress,
relax your body, and lessen discomfort.

Calm your thoughts:

Try mindfulness exercises, prayer, or meditation. Prayer and

relaxation techniques can enhance your mental health and view on
life. In fact, studies suggest that meditation may promote calmness
and boost the benefits of therapy. See spiritual resources on Personal
Well-being for Students to connect.

8. How can the society mental wellness?

The establishment of a healthy housing strategy, the implementation
of housing quality standards, or the incorporation of healthy and
inclusionary housing concepts into community planning are all ways
that local governments can support positive mental health by making
investments in healthy housing.

9. Recently, the Philippines approved its first Mental Health Act

(Republic Act no. 11036). While securing access to comprehensive and
integrated mental health treatments, the Act works to uphold the
rights of those with mental illnesses and their loved ones (Lally et al,
2019).
