Mindfulness for Health and Well Being: An Innovative Physical Education Course in the University of the Philippines Diliman
Abstract
The University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman College of Human Kinetics offers a Physical Education (PE) class called Mindfulness for Health and Well-being (MHW), aimed at teaching mental health skills and promoting pro-social behavior among college students through mindfulness practices and cognitive behavioral therapy exercises. The Centre for Mindfulness Studies Toronto and FriendlyCare Foundation, Inc. developed the curriculum and tested it in a randomized controlled trial funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. This course seeks to enhance Filipino traits such as empathy, compassion, and altruism by strengthening mental health skills, including attention control, emotional regulation, and self-awareness. Following the trial, UP Diliman continued to offer MHW as a PE elective, taking initial steps to address long-standing gaps in mental health education, skill-building, help-seeking behaviors, and destigmatization.
