Calmness Amidst Chaos

Everyone has gone helter-skelter when the pandemic suddenly hit us. With everything that's going on, ensuring that our mental state is healthy is a top-most priority. As such, CiTL has initiated Calmness Amidst Chaos, an online event dedicated to rekindling and re-invigorating work-life balance of the faculty members.

Life-coach Cristine De Leon Alcala guided the faculty-participants as they all recalled and reflected on their experiences for the past days and months. The faculty members of the USTP community were exuberant during the event. In fact, many were eager to comment their answers (even feelings and thoughts) during the sharing by Ms Alcala. Furthermore, the event fostered and renewed the trailblazers optimism and positivism amidst the chaos in these present times.

Dr. Tito M. Mariquit, Director of Human Resource Management, USTP System, commented that “a time for de-stressing is very necessary to remind us that life is not all work—that we have to pause, breathe and reflect about our experiences. This way, we will be able to manage our lives and allow for work and life balance.”

Calmness Amidst Chaos is only the first of the series for Faculty Mental Health Webinars
