Four (4) students of the Bachelor of Science in Psychology program of the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) participated in the International Forum on Mental Health and Well-being hosted by Universitas Airlangga in Indonesia from 9-13 February.

The student delegates consist of Ms. Juliana R. Tangonan, Ms. Bea Marie Yvette R. Guzman, Mr. Glenn William S. Ruiz, and Mr. Jhacob B. De Asis were joined by Dr. Benny S. Soliman, faculty member of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) who attended as Visiting Lecturer. Together, they were able to obtain important knowledge about the latest trends, issues, and interventions regarding mental health and well-being. The conference enabled the participants to interact with experts from around the globe, exchange knowledge with other academics, and gain insight into various perspectives on enhancing psychological resilience and overall well-being.

Furthermore, Dr. Soliman being a Visiting Lecturer, also facilitated knowledge exchange and academic collaboration - thus, further strengthening institutional linkages with UNAIR. Meanwhile, the students enhanced their academic and professional competencies, particularly in global mental health perspectives, intercultural communication, and collaborative learning.

This event exemplifies TAU’s efforts towards internationalization and achieving its goals of preparing globally-minded students and faculty members to make a valuable contribution to mental health and well-being.
