Filamer Christian University, Inc. (FCU) strengthened its commitment to student well-being through its Mental Health Awareness Day 2026, themed “It’s a Lot, Let’s Unpack It: Navigating the Plot Twists Inside Our Heads,” held on October 28 at the FCU Gym.

Featuring discussions led by experts from various fields, the event explored pressing youth concerns, including digital self-awareness, family wellness, reproductive health, financial literacy, gender and development, and substance abuse prevention.

Guest speaker Dr. Kathryn Beluso underscored the importance of looking beyond academic achievements and recognizing personal well-being as an essential part of growth and lifelong learning.

The initiative also provided access to HIV testing through a booth organized by the Capiz Shells Organization in partnership with the Filamer Christian University Student Republic (FCUSR), reinforcing the importance of awareness, prevention, and accessible health services.
