Abstract

Bacolod City College recognizes the importance of mental health for its diverse student body, addressing academic pressures, financial concerns, and social challenges. By identifying priorities, the guidance center can implement proactive measures for effective stress management. The study used a quantitative descriptive design to gather data on the mental health priorities of Bacolod City College students, incorporating factors like age, sex, and living conditions, aligning with the Department of Science and Technology's Mental Health Research Agenda. LGBTQ+ issues were viewed as low priority in this school while suicide/self-harm issues and family issues were seen as a high priority. The Business Administration-Entrepreneurship department also views Abuse and Trauma and HIV and STDs as high-priority mental health issues. The quality of life for older students with mental health issues is generally good, regardless of demographic variables such as sex, living conditions, and parental employment. Mental health issues are well understood by male students, high-income students, and employed parents, with age and sex showing significant differences within-group. The Guidance Center of Bacolod City College should continue to support students with unique mental health concerns, focusing on improving their quality of life and family environment.
