Sa dami ng kailangang harapin araw-araw, may mga bigat na hindi natin nakikita. Baka may taong tahimik na nahihirapan. Baka ikaw rin.

Minsan, sapat nang magsimula sa isang simpleng pag-uusap. Kumustahin. Makinig. Kumonekta sa tulong kapag kailangan.

Dahil minsan, ang isang simpleng pag-uusap ay maaaring magbukas ng daan tungo sa paghingi ng tulong.

𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊. 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐍. 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓.

Heads Up PH successfully conducted the RACE Against Su***de Training at Centro Escolar University (CEU) Mendiola on July 30-31, 2026, bringing together Forty-seven (47) gatekeepers from five educational institutions under the Mendiola Consortium.

Facilitated by Heads Up PH, the training equipped guidance counselors, psychometricians, coordinators, designates, and student formation personnel with essential knowledge and skills to recognize su***de risk, assess individuals at risk, provide initial support, and facilitate appropriate referrals.

Representatives from Centro Escolar University, Centro Escolar Integrated School, Saint Jude Catholic School, La Consolacion College Manila, and San Beda University learned and collaborated to strengthen su***de prevention efforts and foster safer and more responsive school communities.

Together, we continue building a mentally healthy Philippines, one learner, one school at a time.

You can be a PeerKada! 🤝

You can turn your voice into action by listening without judgment, creating safe spaces, sharing helpful information, supporting peers, and connecting one another to solutions and support.

Because every young Filipino has a voice and has power to shape the solutions that affect their lives.

As we celebrated International Youth Day yesterday, let’s go beyond celebrating youth voices and turn our voices into action.

Together, let’s refuse to leave anyone behind in the dark. Let’s make mental wellness foundational for every young Filipino.

Over 100 delegates from various Higher Education Institutions across Regions I, II, and CAR gathered in Baguio City for the Peer Facilitators’ Training Program led by the Commission on Higher Education(CHED).

The activity brought together school administrators, guidance counselors and advocates, Student Affairs practitioners, and student leaders in a shared commitment to strengthen peer support systems.

Through this initiative, participants were equipped with the knowledge and skills to enhance the operations of peer groups, foster safe and supportive environment, and develop programs that are meaningful, relevant, and impactful for their respective school communities. By strengthening peer support systems, schools can promote well-being, encourage help-seeking behaviors, and contribute to a more inclusive and supportive campus culture.

Care becomes more powerful when it is closer.

Strengthening support within schools ensures that learners can access help where they are and when they need it most.

Guidance counselors, teachers, and school personnel play a vital role in noticing the signs, offering support, and connecting learners to care. Expanding this workforce strengthens the systems that make early action possible. At Heads Up PH, we believe safer and mentally healthier schools are built when the right people are equipped with the right skills—and supported by systems that enable timely, effective care.

This is what looks like in action.

Heads Up in Ortigas: Across campuses and communities, young people are stepping up for themselves and for one another.

At the STI Main Campus in Ortigas (Cainta), 65 participants from 58 STI Colleges campuses nationwide came together for the Peer Facilitators Training bringing students, guidance counselors, teachers, and school administrators into one shared mission: to build safer, more supportive school environments.

More than a training, it was a space for listening, learning, and leading. Here, peer support takes shape, not just as a skill, but as a commitment to care. By strengthening mental health awareness and encouraging early help-seeking, these peer facilitators become everyday champions of well-being in their own communities.
This is how change begins: when individuals recognize their power to create safe spaces, uplift one another, and normalize conversations around mental health.

Together, we move closer to a future where every learner feels seen, heard, and supported.

Heads Up in Baguio City!

In partnership with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Heads Up PH serves as the training partner and resource facilitators for the PeerKada Vibe: Building Healthy Connections, Nurturing Inclusive, and Supportive Spaces Peer Facilitators Program for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

Through this, we are expanding school-based support systems and ensuring peer facilitators can act as trusted extension arms to guidance offices across different settings. When we train student leaders with evidence-based interventions, we reduce stigma, encourage help-seeking behavior, and create school environments where no learner has to carry their struggles alone.

Let's continue building a mentally healthy Philippines, one learner, one school, and one community at a time.
