Farmers are the backbone of our economy, and mental health exempts no profession, age, or gender. ๐พ
โWithout our farmers โ our modern-day heroes โ there would be no food on our tables.โ
Today, at the Municipal Gymnasium of La Trinidad, Benguet, Miss Lovely Balanoy Bomowey (Echomind Chairperson and Miss Benguet 2024) continued to champion her advocacy beyond judging, hosting, panel discussions, and training pageant kings and queens. She walked further into the fields to connect with our farmers and share meaningful conversations on mental wellness.
She spoke about stress management and ways to maintain oneโs well-being amidst inflation and the different crises affecting the country today. More than sharing knowledge, she also found herself deeply blessed by the participantsโ openness and active sharing of their experiences.
What started as a simple open forum became a heartfelt exchange of testimonies, encouragement, and genuine human connection. ๐
