Title: Cultivating a Growth Mindset and Grit through Arts: A Psychoeducation and an
Art Exhibit for iGens in this Mental Health Month
INTRODUCTION
Wellbeing has become one of the main advocacies of those in the helping
profession in this so-called of Age of Disruption. In fact, the United Nations and
Development Programme (UNDP) targeted Good Health and Well-Being and Gender
Equality as the third and fifth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to be achieved
by 2030. The focus on wellbeing was recognized, too in the Philippines when R.A.
11036- Philippine Mental Health Law was signed barely two years ago. This R.A.
11036 is An Act Establishing a National Mental Health Policy for the Purpose of
Enhancing the Delivery of Integrated Mental Health Services, Promoting and Protecting
the Rights of Persons Utilizing Psychosocial Health Services, Appropriating Funds
Therefor and Other Purposes.
In recognition, the focus of the Guidance and Counseling Unit’s (GCU) activity
is on strengthening wellbeing of students since this is an issue which affects all
genders in all strata of human life. Through orientation and psychoeducation
programs on mental health, this program aims to address the growing concern on
adolescent depression which is the most common mental health problem worldwide.
Data from the WHO showed that worldwide 10-20% of children and adolescents
experience mental disorders. Half of all mental illnesses begin by the age of 14 and
three-quarters by mid-20s. Neuropsychiatric conditions are the leading cause of
disability in young people in all regions. If untreated, these conditions severely
influence children’s development, their educational attainments and their potential
to live fulfilling and productive lives. Children with mental disorders face major
challenges with stigma, isolation and discrimination, as well as lack of access to
health care and education facilities, in violation of their fundamental human rights.
Poor mental health can have important effects on the wider health and
development of adolescents and is associated with several health and social outcomes
such as higher alcohol, tobacco and illicit substances use, adolescent pregnancy,
school dropout and delinquent behaviors. There is growing consensus that healthy
development during childhood and adolescence contributes to good mental health
and can prevent mental health problems, (WHO, 2017).
