Congratulations and best of luck, Batch 2026 Officers!

The Association of Competent and Aspiring Psychologists (ACAP) of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Santa Rosa Campus participated in the second session of the seminar, “Empowering Future Crisis Responders through Orientation on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and Psychological First Aid (PFA),” on May 22, 2026, at the Audio Visual Room (AVR).

Centered on Psychological First Aid, the session aimed to equip students with practical knowledge and appropriate response skills for individuals experiencing crises and emergencies.

Serving as the resource speaker was Prof. Raymund E. Mindanao, MA, LPT, RPm, Head of the Psychology Program of PUP Santa Rosa Campus.

During the seminar, he discussed the significance of PFA in supporting the emotional and mental well-being of affected individuals, while also emphasizing the importance of empathy, active listening, and proper intervention in crisis situations.

ACAP members from first-year to fourth-year actively engaged in the discussion and activities throughout the session.

As third-year psychology students taking the Disaster and Mental Health course, the seminar provided them with a valuable opportunity to connect their academic learnings with real-life applications in disaster response and mental health support.

Through this experience, participants were encouraged to further develop the compassion, competence, and readiness needed as future crisis responders.
