A foundation for wellness – The 4th year students from the Organization of Psychology Students (OPS) of the University of Batangas (UB) College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) brought their expertise and compassion to the community of Tinga, Labac, Batangas City on November 30, 2023.
Their outreach, “TheMindIsTheMaster: Enhancing Educational Support and Well-Being,” revolved around a central goal: to bolster the development of children and their parents as crucial members of the community.
The future psychologists guided participants through activities focused on instilling responsibility. The session aimed to show them how to apply their own knowledge and skills for their personal benefit and for the good of their neighbors—a core component of sustainable well-being.
This commitment to deep community involvement stemmed from the university’s core mission to nurture purpose and broaden perspectives through hands-on, experiential learning.
In pursuit of authentic service, this program strongly observed the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It placed a primary focus on SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by championing indicator 3.4 (Promote mental health and well-being). By equipping learners with life skills, it also advanced SDG 4 (Quality Education).
