Universidad de Dagupan is committed to provide not only quality education but also a psychological climate that is conducive for learning. This is carried out through the Guidance Center's initiatives and partnerships with the student organizations and vice versa who share the same mission to contribute to the total formation of a student's character, values and attitudes and help students gain a better understanding of themselves and become happy and productive members of the university community.

This school year, the Psychology Society, Peer Facilitators' Circle and the Guidance Center worked on three mental health initiatives which covered topics on suicide awareness and prevention, self-awareness, and mental wellness. These aim to contribute to students' knowledge on aspects relative to mental health and share information on basic skills they can use to respond to individuals who are experiencing mental health issues.

With high hopes, the university envisions to provide safe spaces and avenues that will encourage students to seek help openly and freely without the fear of being judged or labelled and therefore thrive as agentic and productive learners.
