From trauma to hope — one conversation at a time. The Hoffen Clinic – Center for Mental Health of the Adventist Hospital Davao joined the ADRA Philippines team and the Adventist Mental Health Professionals Association of Southeastern Philippines Union Mission (AMHPA-SePUM) in reaching out to the survivors of the recent earthquake in Manay, Davao Oriental.
Together, we provided Psychological First Aid (PFA) to families and individuals still reeling from the aftershocks—reminding them that hope and healing can rise even from broken ground.

On this World Mental Health Day, we echo Christ’s healing mission - to bring comfort in catastrophe, calm in crisis, and compassion in care. 🌏
Every act of service, every touch of kindness, is a ministry of healing that reflects His love. ❤️‍🩹

Your child isn’t just hearing your frustration.
They’re learning what love feels like under pressure.

The morning rush hits.
Your child can’t find their socks.
You sigh, “We’re late again because of you!”

They don’t hear a lesson about being on time.
They hear, “I ruin things. I make Mom or Dad angry.”

In that moment, they’re not learning responsibility—
they’re learning fear.
Fear of mistakes.
Fear of failing you.

And one day, that fear becomes silence, hiding, or lying—
just to avoid blame.

So next time, pause.
Say, “We’re late. Let’s find your socks together.”
Teach calm, not shame.
Teamwork, not fear.

Because the way you handle the small things
is how they’ll handle the big ones.
