Mental Health Services In Davao City For Students

For years, people who have been struggling with their mental health have isolated themselves, refusing to get treatment due to stigma. Discussions on mental health remain a sensitive topic in the country. And today, even with the Mental Health Law already in place, psychiatric and counseling services remain inaccessible to the general public. 

Undeniably, mental health services in the Philippines still have a lot of room to grow. But slowly, workplaces, schools, and even communities are getting more access to mental health and wellness programs. 

But getting treatment will only be possible if you make the first move. Know that it’s okay to get help if you’re struggling with your mental health; there are many organizations and clinics that are dedicated to helping you.

Yes, the first conversation about your mental health is the hardest. But it will get easier as you take small steps to get the help you need. If you’re not ready to get professional help, you can start by opening up to a good friend or family member. Doing so could help you decide if you do need to seek out mental health services, as well as give you the courage to overcome your struggles.
