The activity, held also as a part of the university’s advocacy for women’s empowerment, especially sought to reach marginalized women and to amplify their voices in conversations about well-being.
The seminar featured insightful discussions led by Registered Psychometrician Prof. Normae C. Ecija, who emphasized the importance of prioritizing mental health, emotional resilience, and self-care practices as essential tools for navigating the challenges of daily life.
Beyond providing practical strategies, the event also opened a safe space for dialogue, where participants were encouraged to reflect on the barriers women face in accessing wellness resources and to share their personal journeys. By creating this platform, EVSU reinforced its mission of fostering an environment that promotes dignity, balance, and equitable opportunities for all.
