Dr. Theresita V. Atienza addresses mental health issues to the students of Quezon City University. During the flag raising ceremony, Dr. Atienza intends to intensify and expand the Guidance Counseling Unit that will foster mental health awareness and wellbeing alongside with “Peer Counseling Program” providing a one-on-one confidential support from students with the same age group.

To alleviate Muslim students' ongoing problems to find privacy on campus, Dr. Atienza is campaigning to create a Muslim students' private room where they can pray. Venue for the said prayer room is still being arranged.

Further, Dr. Atienza also mentioned the Commission on Higher Education's (CHED) statement on Monday, August 29 that unvaccinated staff and students would be permitted to attend face-to-face classes in the academic year 2022-2023. Nevertheless, Dr. Atienza continues to encourage students to get vaccinated against COVID for protection, so she said that there will likely be another round of vaccination drive for QCians.
