Heads Up PH is the mental health and well-being pillar of Unilab Foundation that aims to improve the mental health and well-being of Filipinos through a holistic approach
There is a growing concern for the mental health and well-being of Filipino youth, as data shows the rise in suicide attempts and incidents. The Department of Education revealed that in the Academic Year 2021-2022, there were 404 recorded cases of completed suicide among public school students along with 2,147 recorded cases of attempted suicide.
Heads Up PH is the mental health and well-being pillar of Unilab Foundation that aims to improve the mental health and well-being of young Filipinos through holistic mental health programs anchored on the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Framework and the Multi-Tiered System of Supports .Dr. Sheila Marie G. Hocson, RGC, RPsy, RPm, LPT, former president of the Philippine Guidance and Counseling Association shared her thoughts.
“In the Philippine public school system, there is only one guidance counselor serving 25,000 students. There are also not enough psychologists, psychiatrists, and developmental pediatricians who can provide help. What’s more, accessing private mental health services can be expensive.” The Toolkit, which has been piloted in several schools around the country, can help fill gaps on the issue of the scarcity of mental health professionals in the country, the limitations on service delivery, increased reliance on remote support, and disruptions in the continuation of mental health services.
Heads Up PH, through Unilab Foundation, offers the gatekeeping program to guidance counselors, teachers, school administrators, nurses, and other staff, training them in suicide prevention, with tools on how to be aware, assess, facilitate, and manage the situation.
