Mga ka-TNK, sa paggunita ng ***dePreventionDay, mahalagang maunawaan na ang su***de ay maaaring makaapekto sa sinuman. Ngunit ayon sa datos, may ilang grupo na higit na naaapektuhan, kaya kailangan din ng mas angkop, mas tutok, at mas gender-responsive na su***de prevention efforts.

Sa Pilipinas, mahigit 80% ng su***de deaths ay naitala sa mga lalaki, habang humigit-kumulang 42% ay kabilang sa mga kabataang edad 15–29. Ipinapakita rin ng mga ebidensya na ang social norms, stigma sa paghingi ng tulong, at limitadong access sa napapanahon at angkop na mental health care ay maaaring maging hadlang sa pag-access ng suportang kailangan.

Kaya naman, sa ating episode ngayong Biyernes na pinamagatang “Mental Health Is Overall Health: Kalusugan ng Isip, Kalusugan ng Sarili,” samahan ninyo kami at si Dr. Noel V. Reyes, MD, FPPA, MMHoA, Medical Center Chief II ng National Center for Mental Health, upang talakayin kung bakit mahalagang ituring ang mental health bilang bahagi ng overall health at kung paano tayo makakalikha ng gender-responsive at psychologically safe spaces para sa bawat isa.

Dahil ang pag-aalaga sa isip ay bahagi ng pangangalaga sa sarili. At sa su***de prevention, bawat isa sa atin ay may papel. Maging isang taong handang makinig. Maging isang ligtas na sandalan. Maging bahagi ng pagbuo ng mga espasyong kung saan ligtas magsabi ng pinagdaraanan, humingi ng tulong, at makahanap ng suporta.

We all see the world through different lenses. We carry different experiences, face different challenges, and need different kinds of support. When it comes to mental health and su***de prevention, understanding these differences matters.

That is why the spaces we create and the support we provide must be 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿-𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲. Our policies, programs, and interventions should be able to meet people where they are and respond to what they need.

This World Su***de Prevention Day, PCW calls on all GADvocates to continue creating spaces where people feel safe to speak, reach out, and be heard. Let us be there for those who are going through something difficult and remind them that 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁.

Beyond the festive colors and celebration, we know that the work for equality continues every single day. We remain in solidarity with all who continue to fight for safe spaces, recognition, and equal opportunities in schools, workplaces, communities, and even in their homes—where acceptance and understanding are just as important as any other space.

We honor the voices that speak up, and the allies who stand with them in pushing for a more inclusive and just society.

Because in the pursuit of equality, no one must be left behind. 🌈
