Talking about su***de is not easy. But change can begin with a simple question: “𝗞𝘂𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗸𝗮?”

𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. We can help change the story by building communities where people feel seen, supported, and able to access the care they need. 🌱

Today, let's start with simple, meaningful acts of 𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙀:
❤️‍🩹 𝗖reating safe spaces for difficult conversations
❤️‍🩹 𝗔lways choose kindness
❤️‍🩹 𝗥esponding and listening without judgement
❤️‍🩹 𝗘ducating people about mental health and reducing stigma

If you or someone you know is going through a difficult time, reaching out for support can be a meaningful first step. You don’t have to face it alone.

This global capacity-building initiative is designed to integrate and strengthen mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) in emergency preparedness long before crises hit.

Bringing together participants from different countries, sectors, and professional backgrounds, the workshop explored an important question: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗠𝗛𝗣𝗦𝗦 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿? 💭

For Abbey, the learning went beyond the workshop room. During the simulation, she served as Staff Wellbeing Officer for the Education for Everyone (E4E) team, helping develop a wellbeing plan that anticipated the physical, psychological, and social demands of deployment.

She also took part in a field simulation in a secondary school in Bangkok, where the E4E team facilitated a psychosocial support session for adolescents. Working with colleagues from different countries and organizations—with limited preparation time—the experience called for collaboration, adaptability, communication, and the ability to respond to the realities of the setting. The activity demonstrated the value of experiential learning and teamwork in strengthening MHPSS preparedness. 🧠💡

Despite the rough waves brought by the Habagat and a few setbacks, Balik Kalipay Center (BKC), CBM Global Disability Inclusion, and the Zumarraganon came together on August 7, 2026 to launch the 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆-𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 (𝗜𝗖𝗠𝗠𝗛𝗖) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟮, marked by the signing of the 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗠𝗼𝗔) 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Embracing their chosen local project name, 𝗠𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗔𝗪—meaning peace and serving as a symbolic word of faith—the event unfolded in harmony.

This marks an important milestone as Zumarraga established its first OPD, creating a platform for persons with disabilities to have a stronger voice in shaping programs and initiatives that affect their lives.

This celebration concluded with the formal signing of the MoA by 𝗭𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗻. 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗥. 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗼, 𝗕𝗞𝗖 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗠𝘀. 𝗝𝗼𝘆𝗰𝗶𝗲 𝗗. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲, 𝗕𝗞𝗖 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝘀. 𝗠𝗮𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮, and 𝗖𝗕𝗠𝗚 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝘀. 𝗚𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗻.

Hi, friends! It's been a while, and we are one step closer to strengthening local leadership for Inclusive Mental Health Care. 🌟

Last month, the BKC Team successfully conducted 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗙𝗚𝗗𝘀) across our partners’ communities in Sorsogon and Samar on June 8 (Pilar), June 9 (Juban), and June 11 (Zumarraga).

In partnership with our LGUs and multisectoral stakeholders, we gathered to review, validate and refine our Mental Health 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀. These consultations are essential not only for our current baseline assessment but also for laying the groundwork for 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 and setting the stage for the upcoming Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 this July and August! 📃✍🏽

Most importantly, these discussions gave space to the voices of persons with lived experience (PWLEs), community mental health workers and local government leaders. Their insights are helping shape community-based mental health systems that are inclusive, responsive, and sustainable.

Thank you to our LGU partners and all participants for your openness, expertise, and commitment for driving this collaborative effort toward a sustainable, multi-sectoral mental health system! 🧠💭

Mula sa mga panahong puno ng paghihirap at pagkawala, ngayon ay muling nagniningning ang ngiti ni Rodelyn.

Dahil sa maagap na tugon ng komunidad, naging regular ang kanyang pagpapagamot para sa mental health condition na psychosis. Ngayon, masigla, tapat, at mapagmahal na si Rodelyn—at aktibo na rin siyang nakikilahok sa kanilang barangay.

𝗔𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗶 𝗥𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗻 ay isang paalala na ang karamdaman sa pag-iisip ay may lunas. Hindi imposible ang pagbangon kung may sapat na suporta at pagtanggap mula sa kapwa.

Ang video na ito ay bunga ng 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽, kung saan ang mga taong may lived experience mismo ang humawak ng camera, sumulat at nagbahagi ng sarili nilang kwento kasama ang kanilang mga pamilya o carers.

Abangan sa mga susunod na araw ang buong serye ng mga kwento mula sa Pilar, Juban, at Zumarraga. 🎬✨

June is —a celebration of the lives, history, and contributions of LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities.

At 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 (𝗕𝗞𝗖), we believe that mental health is a human right. Everyone deserves to live with dignity and feel safe being who they are. When people are accepted, respected, and free from discrimination, wellbeing can flourish.

Creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued supports mental health and wellbeing. When people can express their identity without fear, they are more likely to thrive, heal, and experience a sense of belonging. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴. 💖

𝗔𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗶 𝗔𝗺𝘆 ay patunay na walang madilim na nakaraan ang hindi kayang tanglawan ng pag-asa, pagmamahal at suporta.

Matapos dumaan sa depresyon na nakaapekto sa kanyang buhay at pamilya, nahanap ni Amy ang lakas sa pamamagitan ng pagsali sa 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲-𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗥𝗙𝗣) at iba pang mga programa ng 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 (𝗕𝗞𝗖). Mula sa pagiging tahimik sa isang sulok, ngayon ay muli siyang nagtatrabaho, may tiwala na sa sarili at patuloy na nangangarap para sa kanyang mga anak.

Ang video na ito ay bunga ng 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽, kung saan ang mga taong may lived experience mismo ang humawak ng camera, sumulat at nagbahagi ng sarili nilang kwento kasama ang kanilang mga pamilya o carers.

Abangan sa mga susunod na araw ang buong serye ng mga kwento mula sa Pilar, Juban, at Zumarraga! 🎬✨

🌟 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗔, 𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗠, 𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢! 🌟

On December 2-3, 2025, we successfully wrapped up our 2-day multi-sectoral conference, "𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮, 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺, 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀" at PROXY by The Oriental Albay in Legazpi, Albay!

In celebration of 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, we gathered 𝟭𝟭𝟰 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧—including 𝐋𝐆𝐔𝐬, 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 and 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬.

Together, we explored:
💡 Integrating mental health into local disaster planning.
💡 Amplifying the voices of persons with disabilities, the elderly, and the youth.
💡 How inclusive care and Filipino values like 𝘒𝘢𝘱𝘸𝘢 (𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘺) and 𝘗𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺 (𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨) strengthen our communities and build resilience in time of crisis.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our partners who made this vision possible: 𝗖𝗕𝗠 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 - CBM Australia and 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘀 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗢). ❤️💙

Our resilience is measured not just by how we rebuild, but by how we care for one another. To our speakers, volunteers, and participants: thank you for committing to a future where no one is left behind in times of crisis. ✊

𝐏𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐧, 𝐁𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥! ✨
