World Su***de Prevention Day 2022
“Creating hope Through Action”

An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world. For every su***de, there are likely 20 other people making a su***de attempt and many more have serious thoughts of su***de. Millions of people suffer intense grief or are otherwise profoundly impacted by suicidal behaviours.

Each suicidal death is a public health concern with a profound impact on those around them. By raising awareness, reducing the stigma around su***de, and encouraging well-informed action, we can reduce instances of su***de around the world.
World Su***de Prevention Day (WSPD) was established in 2003 by the International Association for Su***de Prevention in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO). The 10th of September each year focuses attention on the issue, reduces stigma and raises awareness among organizations, government, and the public, giving a singular message that su***de can be prevented.
“Creating hope through action” is the triennial theme for the World Su***de Prevention Day from 2021 - 2023. This theme is a reminder that there is an alternative to su***de and aims to inspire confidence and light in all of us.

By creating hope through action, we can signal to people experiencing suicidal thoughts that there is hope and that we care and want to support them. It also suggests that our actions, no matter how big or small, may provide hope to those who are struggling. Lastly, it highlights the importance of setting su***de prevention as a priority public health agenda by countries, particularly where access to mental health services and availability of evidence-based interventions are already low. Building on this theme and spreading this message over the three years, a world can be envisioned where su***des are not so prevalent.

We can all play a role in supporting those experiencing a suicidal crisis or those bereaved by su***de whether as a member of society, as a child, as a parent, as a friend, as a colleague or as a person with lived experience. We can all encourage understanding about the issue, reach in to people who are struggling, and share our experiences. We can all create hope through action and be the light.

Good Morning!
Today's Schedule of Consultation:
In Person: 8am - 11am at ES/JHS Clinic located at the Gymnasium
Teleconsultation: 1pm - 4pm

August of 2002 former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared the 1st week of September every year as National Epilepsy Awareness week, also known as Proclamation No.230.
The Proclamation acknowledges that Epilepsy is a common chronic brain disorder affecting approximately 750,000 Filipinos. It also spreads awareness and understanding about Epilepsy where persons with this condition may still have normal lives because it is treatable.
What is epilepsy?
Epilepsy, which is sometimes called a seizure disorder, is a disorder of the brain. A person is diagnosed with epilepsy when they have had two or more seizures.
A seizure is a short change in normal brain activity.
Seizures are the main sign of epilepsy. Some seizures can look like staring spells. Other seizures cause a person to fall, shake, and lose awareness of what’s going on around them.
What are the major types of seizures?
Sometimes it is hard to tell when a person is having a seizure. A person having a seizure may seem confused or look like they are staring at something that isn’t there. Other seizures can cause a person to fall, shake, and become unaware of what’s going on around them.
Seizures are classified into two groups.
Generalized seizures affect both sides of the brain.
Focal seizures affect just one area of the brain. These seizures are also called partial seizures.
A person with epilepsy can have more than one kind of seizure.
It is important also to know seizure first aid to be able to help and keep the environment safe for the person with Epilepsy.
Here are the things you need to know
1. stay with the person
2. keeps the area safe. move any objects away that may cause injury
3. loosen any tight clothing and when he/she is unconscious turn him/her to side.
4. Time the duration of the seizure
5. Call for medical help if the seizure lasted more than 5 minutes, had repeated seizures, the person does not return to their usual state.
DO NOT restrain the person if he/she is having a seizure, and DO NOT put anything in their mouth.
