🌱 Kumusta ka?

Kapag may lindol, hindi lang bahay at gusali ang naaapektuhan, pati ang ating isip at damdamin.

Matapos ang lindol, maaaring nakakaramdam ka ng takot, pag-aalala, o pagiging hindi mapalagay. Ang mga ganitong reaksyon ay bahagi ng ating natural na pagtugon sa isang nakababahalang pangyayari.

Habang pinangangalagaan natin ang ating kaligtasan, huwag din nating kalimutang alagaan ang ating isip at damdamin.

Take a deep breath, check in with your loved ones, and give yourself the same kindness you would offer to others.

Dahan-dahan lang. Healing takes time. In times like these, let's heal together! 💚

Kung kailangan mo ng kausap o suporta, huwag mag-atubiling makipag-ugnayan sa aming Crisis Hotline.

🌈 Hindi ka nag-iisa. Your identity is valid, and your mental health matters.

Join our Assistant Training Officer, Dr. Sheila May Aduviso, DSBPP, and Dr. Ron Elepaño III on Mind Matters as they discuss LGBTQIA+ mental health, the challenges faced by the community, and the importance of understanding, acceptance, and support.

Because no one should have to face their mental health journey alone. 💙

🌈 Hindi ka nag-iisa. Your identity is valid, and your mental health matters.

In our latest episode of Mind Matters, Dr. Sheila Aduviso sits down with renowned psychiatrist Dr. Ron Elepaño III to discuss a topic that touches many Filipino homes: LGBT Mental Health.

Many people face unique challenges that can affect both identity and peace of mind. For many LGBTQIA+ individuals, the road to wellness is often paved with unique challenges—from family rejection and workplace stigma to the quiet struggle of finding inclusive healthcare.

Whether you are a member of the community, a parent trying to understand, or an ally wanting to help, this episode is for you. Mental health is a journey we should never have to walk alone.

It reminds us that inclusion is not a privilege granted to a few, but a right that belongs to all.

This month, we celebrate the countless stories, identities, and experiences that enrich our communities. We stand in solidarity with those who continue to face barriers and reaffirm our commitment to building a society where respect, equality, and belonging are everyday realities.

Today, the Department of Psychiatry successfully conducted its monthly wellness activity entitled “Sleep Talk” 🌙💤

We were honored to have Dr. Emely Wee Tsang-Ramos, ENT Specialist and Sleep Medicine fellow, share her expertise and valuable insights on the role of quality sleep in improving physical health, mental wellness, productivity, and overall quality of life.

The activity was attended by psychiatry consultants, psychiatry and ENT residents, psychologists, nurses, medical and psychology interns — all coming together to promote awareness on the importance of healthy sleep habits and holistic well-being.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Tsang-Ramos for inspiring us to prioritize rest, recovery, and healthier sleep practices in our daily lives. 🤍
