The Pasig City government and MindNation renewed their mental health program for the city’s government frontliners amid the lingering impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. ManilaBulletin
Their initial partnership began in December 2020 in response to the psycho-social effects of isolation from family and friends, the fear of contracting Covid-19, loss of livelihoods, and general anxiety at the height of the pandemic.
Through the program, beneficiaries are provided with free services such as teletherapy sessions with psychologists and online chat support with trained mental health professionals, both of which can be accessed 24/7. The local government is planning on extending the program to include Pasiguenos who are small and mid-sized entrepreneurs or business owners.
“We are very thankful to Mindnation for reaching out to our local government unit and greatly alleviating the stresses of our public servant employees through their advocacies in mental health,” Santiago added.
