🧠 MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS SEMINAR FOR HEALTH NAVIGATORS 💚

On September 10, 2026, the Barangay Punong Grande Health Station successfully conducted a Mental Health Awareness Seminar for Health Navigators, aimed at strengthening the knowledge, awareness, and capacity of our community health navigators in promoting mental health and supporting individuals in the community.

We were honored to have Lean Leonel Bastareche, RN, Mental Health Coordinator of the Municipal Health Office of Banga, as our resource speaker. His valuable insights and expertise provided our health navigators with meaningful knowledge on mental health awareness, early recognition, and appropriate support and referral.

A total of 42 Health Navigators actively participated in this important learning session. 💚

🙏 Our heartfelt thanks to the BLGU Punong Grande, headed by our dedicated Brgy. Captain Bobby B. Delalamon, for the continuous support and commitment to our community health programs.

Together, let us continue to promote mental health, break the stigma, listen with compassion, and build a healthier and more supportive community. 🧠💚

🧠💚 MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS!

Hindi lang katawan ang kailangang alagaan—mahalaga rin ang ating isip, damdamin, at emotional well-being. 💚

🌱 Okay lang na hindi okay.
💬 Magsabi ng nararamdaman sa taong pinagkakatiwalaan.
🤝 Huwag matakot humingi ng tulong.
😴 Matulog nang sapat at alagaan ang sarili.
🏃‍♀️ Manatiling aktibo at gawin ang mga bagay na nagpapasaya sa iyo.
📵 Magpahinga rin mula sa social media kapag kinakailangan.

Kung ikaw o isang kaibigan ay nahihirapan, huwag sarilinin. May mga taong handang makinig at tumulong. Maaari kang lumapit sa magulang/guardian, g**o, guidance counselor, health worker, o sa Barangay Punong Grande Health Station – Adolescent-Friendly Health Facility.

💚 Hindi ka nag-iisa. You matter. Your mental health matters.
