TSU Psychology Department and COESSE Promote Self-Care Among Solo Parents in Pura

On September 27, Dr. Grace Anne Canlas-Hasegawa, together with the COESSE–TSU Psychological Society, was invited by the Local Government Unit of Pura to conduct a seminar entitled “Empowering Solo Parents Through a Seminar About Self-Care.” The activity aimed to promote self-care and support the well-being of solo parents in the community.

The seminar provided practical guidance on simple ways solo parents can care for themselves, particularly when experiencing stress. Through the discussion, participants were encouraged to recognize the importance of their own well-being while managing their responsibilities as parents.

The engagement reflected the commitment of the Psychology Department and COESSE–TSU Psychological Society to extending psychological knowledge and promoting mental health awareness beyond the university.

The team expressed its gratitude to the people of Pura for the warm welcome and opportunity to take part in the initiative, emphasizing the importance of continued community engagement and support for solo parents.
