OBSERVANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH MONTH CELEBRATION 2025 ✨
"In the observance of Mental Health Month, the Local Youth Development Office (LYDO) Gingoog actively participates in a series of awareness initiatives in Barangay 24-A and Malibud National High School aimed at promoting mental health and emotional well-being among young individuals. This meaningful engagement is part of the office’s continuing commitment to advocate for a more inclusive, compassionate, and responsive approach to youth development.
The celebration highlights the importance of mental health as a fundamental aspect of overall well-being, emphasizing early intervention, community support, and the removal of stigma surrounding mental health issues. As part of the week-long activities, the LYDO joins inter-agency forums, youth-led discussions, mental health seminars, and advocacy campaigns designed to inform, empower, and engage the youth sector.
Through strategic collaboration with government agencies, educational institutions, mental health professionals, and youth organizations, the LYDO seeks to strengthen awareness and equip young people with the tools they need to manage their mental health and support others. The office also encourages open dialogue and safe spaces where the youth can freely express their struggles and aspirations.
This observance reaffirms the Local Youth Development Office’s role as a proactive partner in nurturing the next generation’s holistic growth — fostering resilience, empathy, and leadership through mental health advocacy and education."
