The Civil Service Commission (CSC) proudly joins the Department of Education (DepEd) and other key agencies in the ceremonial signing of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act No. 12080, also known as the Basic Education Mental Health and Well-Being Promotion Act.

As part of its commitment to strengthening mental health services in the education sector, the CSC played a crucial role in formulating the IRR, ensuring the institutionalization of new plantilla positions dedicated to providing mental health support in public schools. These include:

  • Schools Division Counselors
  • School Counselors
  • School Counselor Associates

Under the IRR, the CSC will oversee the standardization of qualification requirements, recruitment, and appointment processes for these positions, ensuring that qualified mental health professionals are deployed across Schools Division Offices (SDOs) and public schools nationwide. This initiative will help address the growing need for counseling, crisis intervention, and mental health education in the basic education system.

CSC Chairperson Marilyn Barua-Yap emphasized the importance of institutionalizing mental health services through permanent plantilla positions, ensuring sustainability and career growth for mental health professionals in government service.
