SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being
University Health, Wellness, and Safety Policy
This University Health, Wellness and Safety Policy (UHWSP) for Faculty and Non-Teaching Staff was approved by the Board of Regents during its Fiscal Year (F/Y) 2021 4th Quarter Regular Meeting through Board Resolution No. 8, series of 2022.
A quarterly monitoring report is to be submitted by the implementing offices/unit and/or division to Safety and Health Committee and be endorsed to the University President on the implementation of the UHWSP and such report shall be included in the annual accomplishment report of the University.
University Mental Health Program, as one of the components of the University Health, Wellness and Safety Policy, commits itself to promoting the well-being of human resources by ensuring that: mental health is valued, promoted and protected; mental health conditions are treated and prevented; timely, affordable, high quality and culturally-appropriate health care for these conditions are made available to its employees; such health services are free from coercion and accountable to the service users; and employees affected by mental health conditions are able to exercise the full range of human rights, and work and participate fully at work, free from stigmatization and discrimination.
