Mental Health Celebration: A Huge Success! 💚💜

Yesterday, October 17, 2025, we celebrated Mental Health Awareness at the Magsaysay Community Center, and it was nothing short of amazing! 🙌

The event was filled with enriching activities like:

BHW Wellness sessions 🧘‍♀️
A fun and energizing Zumba class 💃
Insightful Psychiatric Consultations🧠

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Ethel Maureen Pagaddu, our dedicated psychiatrist, for her informative lecture and valuable consultations. Your knowledge and support truly made a difference in our community!

We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to the LGU of Cordon, especially Mayor Florenz M. Zuniega and Vice Mayor Lynn Zuniega Dy, for their continuous support and providing delicious meals for everyone. Your commitment to mental health is truly appreciated! 🍲

A big shout-out to our BHWs for their tireless efforts in raising awareness about mental health. Your work is invaluable in helping make mental wellness more accessible to all.

Thank you to the RHU staff for organizing this successful event and for always advocating for the well-being of our community!

And of course, a special thank you to the patients who bravely participated, sharing their experiences and seeking help. Together, we continue to break the stigma surrounding mental health.

Here's to more conversations, more support, and more growth in prioritizing mental well-being. 💙

‼️DOH: PALAKASIN ANG PEER SUPPORT GROUPS KONTRA SUICIDE‼️

Inirerekomenda ng DOH ang pagsasapinal at patuloy na pagsuporta sa mga youth-led peer support group para matugunan ang lumalaking pangangailangan para sa mga programang may kinalaman sa mental health.

Kaugnay nito, inilunsad na sa 50 Provincial at City-Wide Health Systems (P/CWHS) ang paggamit ng DOH Peer Support Groups Playbook.

Kabilang sa playbook ang mga training para sa mga peer facilitators at mga educational materials para higit pang buksan sa kabataan ang usaping mental health.

Sa pamamagitan ng peer support groups, nagkakaroon ang kabataan ng ligtas na espasyo kung saan sila ay napapakinggan, nauunawaan, at nagiging bahagi ng isang inklusibo at pantay na komunidad (WHO, 2021).

Batay sa DOH National Assessment of the Mental Health Literacy of Filipinos (2024), 2 sa bawat 3 kabataang Pilipino ay handang humingi ng tulong—isang malinaw na palatandaan na bukas ang kabataan sa pag-uusap at pagtutulungan, lalo na para sa mga may pinagdadaanan.
