With the effectivity of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 12080 or the Basic Education Mental Health and Well-Being Promotion Act last March 22, 2025, all basic education institutions — public and private — are now mandated to comply with its provisions. Schools must be ready to institutionalize programs and systems that promote student mental health and well-being.
This two-session online training aims to guide school owners, trustees of educational institutions, educators, school administrators, guidance counselors, legal and policy professionals and other stakeholders with a clear understanding of the IRR, its operational frameworks and the new responsibilities imposed on K-12 schools.
This will tackle critical legal foundations, the evolving roles of school-based mental health offices, practical strategies to meet both regulatory and student support goals and key shifts from fragmented or reactive practices to a more holistic, learner-centered and systems-based model for promoting mental health and well-being in K–12 education.
Be informed, be prepared and lead your institution in building a safe, inclusive and mentally healthy learning environment. Be Compliant.
