II. RATIONALE
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel,
and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. It is integral to
well-being, enabling people to realize their full potential, show resilience amidst adversity, be productive
across the various settings of daily life, form meaningful relationships and contribute to their communities.
Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including biological factors, such as genes or brain
chemistry, life experiences, such as trauma or abuse, family history of mental health problems. Mental
health problems are common but help is available. Promoting and protecting mental health is also critical to
a well-functioning society. It fosters social capital and solidarity, which are essential during times of crisis.
The Don Benito Agro- Industrial High School wants to raise mental health awareness among teachers
and will apply it to their learners. Developing awareness helps us start to recognize the signs and symptoms
when we’re feeling “off” — just as we do with physical illness. We believe that mental health isn't just a
conversation for people dealing with mental health disorders. Unfortunately, many people don't receive the
treatment that they need because of the stigma associated with mental health. Some don't even realize that
treatment is available. When these people suffer quietly, they feel lonely and disenfranchised. We miss out
on their brilliance. This training would strengthen the knowledge and capabilities of teachers in regards of
promoting GAD and mental health awareness to all students. We never truly know how our actions impact
another person, but if raising awareness can save a life, it is a truly worthwhile endeavor.
