💙Celebrating Batch 2 of Our Psychological Services Interns💙

The Southern Isabela Medical Center Psychological Services Unit proudly celebrates the completion of the internship of our *Batch 2 Interns from St. Paul University Philippines!* 🎓✨

Though their journey with us lasted barely two weeks, the impact they made was anything but brief. In such a short yet meaningful time, they demonstrated *curiosity, compassion, professionalism, and genuine respect for the dignity of every individual they encountered.*

From clinical intake and community engagement to mental health advocacy, they showed us that they were more than trainees—they were *emerging professionals with the heart to serve.* 🤝🌿

As the second cohort under our internship program, you have set a beautiful standard of excellence and sincerity for those who will follow. It has been our privilege to witness your growth and to walk alongside you, even for a little while.

As you continue your journey toward becoming *Registered Psychometricians*, may you always remember that behind every test score is a person—with a story, a history, struggles, strengths, and hopes. May your technical knowledge always be guided by empathy, integrity, and humanity.

Psychometric practice is not only about tests, scores, and assessment. It is also about *seeing the person behind the profile and honoring the story entrusted to you.* 🔎💙

To our Batch 2 Interns, congratulations! 🌟

Thank you for your presence, your dedication, and the meaningful contribution you shared with us. We are proud of you and excited for the professionals you are becoming.

*Go forward with knowledge in your minds, compassion in your hearts, and purpose in your work.*

The field of mental health needs professionals like you. The country awaits its next generation of compassionate psychometricians—and we believe you are ready. 🇵🇭💙

*Congratulations, Batch 2! We wish you all the best in the journey ahead!* 🌿✨

Southern Isabela Medical Center Psychological Services Unit proudly recognizes the completion of the internship of our Batch 1 Interns from St. Paul University Philippines. 💙

Though their engagement with us lasted less than two weeks, the contributions they made were substantial and deeply appreciated. Throughout their stay, they exhibited professionalism, eagerness to learn, and a sincere dedication to the practice of psychological service. Their involvement in clinical support, community outreach, and mental health awareness activities demonstrated both competence and compassion. 🤝

We are honored to have been part of their formative journey as future mental health professionals. As the first batch of interns from St. Paul University Philippines under our program, they have set a meaningful precedent for those who will follow. 🌟

We leave them with the timeless words of Carl Jung:

"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." 💡

We encourage them to continue cultivating self awareness, as it remains the cornerstone of effective and empathetic practice. Their ability to understand themselves will ultimately shape their capacity to understand and help others. 🔎🗺️

To our Batch 1 Interns, we extend our gratitude and best wishes. You are the next generation of clinicians, advocates, and healers. We are proud of what you have accomplished and excited to witness the paths you will forge. 🚀

Thank you for your contributions. The future of mental health is brighter with you in it. 🌿✨

Yesterday has already had its turn. Don't let it steal today, too.

It's easy to replay conversations, dwell on mistakes, or hold onto anger, guilt, and regret. But when we spend too much time living in yesterday, it can begin to affect both our minds and our bodies.

Chronic stress and rumination can contribute to:
💜 Increased anxiety
💜 Trouble sleeping
💜 Headaches and muscle tension
💜 Higher blood pressure
💜 Difficulty concentrating
💜 Feeling emotionally and physically drained

The past can't be changed, but today is still yours.

Letting go doesn't mean forgetting or pretending something didn't happen. It means choosing not to give yesterday the power to rob you of today's peace.

Give yourself grace.
Learn the lesson.
Release what you can't control.
Keep moving forward—one step at a time.

More Connection. Less Isolation. 💜

DOH: MAG-INGAT SA FLASH FLOOD DULOT NG MALAKAS NA ULAN

Sa huling ulat ng DOST-PAGASA, may dalawang LPA na binabantayan sa loob at labas ng PAR. Dala nito ang malalakas na ulan pwedeng magdulot ng biglaang pagbaha o flash flood sa ilang lugar.

'Pag nasa panganib, ipinapaalala ng DOH na:

✅ Lumikas agad at sumunod sa abiso ng barangay o LGU, lalo na kung nakatira sa tabing-ilog o dagat.
✅ Ilayo ang mga bata sa baha, kanal, sapa, at ilog.
✅ ‘Wag tumawid, maglakad, o magmaneho sa rumaragasang baha.
✅ Mag-ingat sa mga butas sa kalsada at kapag naglalakad sa gilid ng mga ilog o sapa.
✅ Iwasan ang pag-inom at pagbebenta ng alak.
✅ Gumamit ng salbabida o mga gamit na maaaring magpalutang kung hindi maiiwasan lumusong sa baha.

Kung may nalulunod, tumawag agad sa National Emergency Hotline 911 o sa local emergency hotline. Kung ligtas itong gawin, magsagawa ng hands-only CPR habang naghihintay ng tulong.

’Wag lumusong sa baha. Buhay mo ang nakataya.

Sa panahon ng bagyo, mahalagang alam ang mga emergency hotline ng inyong lugar. I-save ang mahahalagang numero at makipag-ugnayan lamang sa mga opisyal na awtoridad kung kinakailangan. Ang tamang impormasyon at maagap na paghingi ng tulong ay mahalaga sa oras ng sakuna.
