Abstract

Mental health pertains to an individual's cognitive, emotional, and social  well-being. It encompasses the intricate interplay between thoughts,  feelings, behaviors, and interactions within the context of one's life. The  study investigates the impact of Mental Health Literacy on Senior High  School students' attitudes towards seeking counseling. The research  involved 200 students aged 15-20 from Dr. Carlos S. Lanting College,  selected using purposive sampling. The Mental Health Literacy Scale  selecting 20 targeted questions from the scale from the 35 items original  questionnaire and the revised Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional  Psychological Help scale featuring 10 questions that evaluate individuals'  general inclinations towards seeking professional counseling for  psychological concerns were used. The data was analyzed using Regression  Analysis. The study's results reveal a statistically significant regression  model (F = 49.760, p < .001), affirming that Mental Health Literacy serves  as a significant predictor of Attitude Towards Seeking Counseling. The  substantial F-statistic dismisses the possibility of a chance relationship,  emphasizing a genuine connection between the variables. Notably, the  positive coefficient of .424 (p < .001) implies that a one-unit increase in  Mental Health Literacy corresponds to a .424-unit increase in Attitude  Towards Seeking Counseling, with the standardized coefficient (Beta =  .448) highlighting a moderate influence of Mental Health Literacy on  Attitude Towards Seeking Counseling. Overall, the study shows that it is equally significant is the overwhelmingly positive and open attitude these  students held towards seeking counseling services, underscoring their  willingness to access professional mental health support. The positive  attitude towards seeking counseling may be attributed to increased  awareness campaigns, educational programs, and societal efforts. The  findings could help create a healthier environment for Senior High School  students' mental health journey.
