Building Hope, Strengthening Connections, Saving Lives.

Su***de prevention begins with awareness, compassion, and the courage to start conversations that can make a difference.
Creating safe spaces where people can openly share their struggles, seek support, and know they are not alone is key to strengthen communities in valuing life and inspiring hope.

Help a Life Today (HALT), in collaboration with a local partner continued to assist communities through a Su***de Prevention Symposium last August 8, 2026, in Plaridel, Aborlan, Palawan.

The symposium served as a meaningful avenue for the youth young to deepen their understanding of su***de prevention, mental health, and the importance of being present for those facing difficult times through interactive activities as well as individual counseling sessions.

Through this collaborative effort, we continue to strengthen communities by promoting awareness, compassion, and hope, while empowering individuals to become advocates for mental well-being and su***de prevention.
Together, let us spread hope, strengthen connections, and choose life. 💙

In line with its commitment to promote mental health awareness and su***de prevention among the youth, HALT Palawan, in collaboration with Compassion International and its local partners, successfully conducted a two-day series of awareness trainings for their partners and beneficiaries. A total of 120 youth participants were catered in two days, which aimed to provide a safe and supportive space where young people can better understand themselves, recognize their self-worth, and openly talk about life’s challenges.

The program featured culturally appropriate topics adapted to the level of the participants, who were primarily from the junior and senior high school levels. The sessions were designed to help participants reflect on their value as individuals, make life-giving choices, and better understand the influences shaping their generation—especially in today’s digital age. Through interactive activities and breakout group sessions, the program fostered openness, meaningful interaction, and a shared learning experience.

In support of strengthening mental health and psychosocial support services in schools, Psychological First Aid (PFA) Training for Elementary Guidance Designates was successfully facilitated by HALT Palawan in partnership with Puerto Princesa City DepEd and City Health Office held last March 4–5, 2026 at The Venue, Southwind Palawan. The activity aimed to equip elementary guidance designates with the necessary knowledge and skills to provide immediate psychological support to learners experiencing distress, especially during crises and emergencies.

The training focused on enhancing the participants’ understanding of the basic principles and core actions of Psychological First Aid. It emphasized promoting safety, calmness, connectedness, self-efficacy, and hope among learners who may be affected by stressful or traumatic events.

Throughout the two-day training, participants actively engaged in lectures, group discussions, workshops, and simulation exercises. These activities helped them identify signs of emotional distress among students, practice supportive listening, and learn appropriate ways of responding to learners who may need immediate psychosocial support. The participants were also oriented on proper referral mechanisms to ensure that students requiring further professional help receive the appropriate intervention.

The activity highlighted the vital role of teachers and guidance designates as frontliners in promoting a safe, supportive, and nurturing school environment. By strengthening their competencies in Psychological First Aid, schools are better prepared to address the psychosocial needs of learners and ensure timely support during challenging situations.
