MENTAL HEALTH IS PEACE OF MIND
WHO WE ARE
Vision
The Filipino people with highest level of mental health
Mission
To promote the advancement of mental health through advocacy, education prevention, and best practice intervention for the Filipino people
WHERE WE CAME FROM
After almost a decade of existence, the PMHA National office decided to expand its program throughout the country. The Chapter was able to construct its Day Care building, thanks to the donors and friends of PMHA. It was also through the Chapter that the first psychiatric services were made available in Baguio City. Now, the thrust of the Chapter’s programs is on preventive education- the most effective and inexpensive way of checking the emergence of mental illness. Thus, most of our programs and services are geared towards this objective. To date, Baguio-Benguet Chapter is one of the active chapters among the nine provincial chapters in the country that promotes mental health relentlessly in the community and its environs.
WHAT WE AIM
· To promote mental health and prevent mental health disorders through advocacy, education and information dissemination and capability building;
