HTC Ensures Accessible Mental Health Support for Students and Employees
Holy Trinity College (HTC) demonstrates an active commitment to promoting the mental health and well-being of its entire community, encompassing both students and employees. Every year, the Guidance and Testing Center issues an advisory that emphasizes the critical importance of self-care and encourages every member of the Trinitarian community to prioritize their mental health. The core message was a direct assurance that individuals should feel comfortable seeking assistance from the available Guidance Counselors and Advocates. To ensure reliable and consistent access to these essential mental health resources, the Guidance and Testing Center is open throughout the work week, operating Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and again from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This initiative underscores the school’s dedication to providing a supportive environment where professional guidance is readily accessible to assist students and employees with their mental health and wellness needs.
This initiative strengthens our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in fostering:
- SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being). This ensures accessible, professional, and compassionate mental health services for both students and employees. This proactive measure fosters a holistic, healthy, and resilient academic environment, reinforcing the institution’s mission to care for the mind, body, and spirit of every Trinitarian.
- SDG 4 (Quality Education). Providing mental health support for students, help them to complete their education programs successfully and contributes to a better learning environment.
- SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).Offering support to employees contributes to a safe and secure working environment, which is part of promoting decent work for all.
