On 26 April 2025, Saint Louis University (SLU), through the Center for Counseling and Wellness (CCW) and the Health Services Unit (HSU), in collaboration with the Finance Office, conducted an outreach activity at Child and Family Services, Philippines, Inc. (CFSPI) in Manzanillo Village, Guisad, Baguio City.
The outreach with the theme, “A Day Embraced by Grace, Gratitude, Safe Haven and Hope”, focused on promoting emotional resiliency and health awareness among 18 young girls residing at the center. The CCW team facilitated psychological processing sessions designed to enhance emotional regulation and healing, while the HSU team conducted a health and sanitation talk emphasizing safety, protection, and self-care practices.
After the sessions, the team distributed hygiene kits, grocery food packs and shared a luncheon with the girls, fostering a deeper sense of connection and community.
It was truly a day of compassion, healing, and hope – a testament to SLU’s commitment to service beyond the workplace. This outreach activity advanced SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing and embodied the spirit of Laudato Si’ No. 70, which calls for a renewed sense of responsibility toward the vulnerable and marginalized members of society.
