For counseling: bit.ly/itcs_book-counseling In Touch Community Services (ITCS) is a leading provider of professional counseling services, a telephone Crisis Line and cross-cultural orientation programs. In Touch was established in 1980 and is a non-profit, non-governmental organization servicing the well- being of the community. Originally developed with the aid of the United States Embassy, the aim of In Touch was to provide newly-arrived expatriates with information about resources in the Manila community and to assist them in understanding and appreciating cross-cultural issues. In 1984, In Touch extended its information and referral outreach to the Filipino community through its anonymous telephone-based Crisis Line. At that time, few counseling services existed in Manila especially free and confidential services to assist people who experience stress, anxiety and other challenges in daily life. In the years since, In Touch has trained hundreds of volunteers to respond professionally and compassionately to all Crisis Line callers. While there are several organizations catering to the physical needs of the community, In Touch is one of the few organizations whose activities focus on mental and emotional well-being. We understand these are not tangible, but we cannot overemphasize their importance and consider our services vital to serving the Manila community.

As we say goodbye to November and embrace the incoming December, let's remember that breaking the cycle of toxic masculinity starts with our conscious awareness of harmful gender norms.

Together, we can redefine what it means to be a man by normalizing self-expression, challenging these stereotypes, and creating safe spaces for vulnerability 🫂 Let us hope that, one day, every little boy will grow up in a world where feelings are embraced, not silenced 👦🏻

Ready to learn how to set healthy boundaries—the Filipino way? 🇵🇭🌟

Have you ever struggled with choosing between saying yes just to go along with the flow, even when you want to say no? From pakikisama to utang na loob, let’s learn how to balance cultural expectations with your own mental health. 🌱

Join us for "𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲: 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀"—a free webinar by In Touch Community Services’ Batch 11 Undergraduate Interns!

Filipino values such as hiya, utang na loob, and pakikisama shape our relationships and sense of self. However, there are times when they leave us feeling torn between others’ expectations and our own needs. This webinar will allow us to explore how to honor our cultural values while still protecting our emotional well-being. 💛

This November, we recognize that men's health— men's 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 also matters as we debunk some myths that keep them silent.

Many men struggle from societal expectations, being told to “man up,” “stay tough,” or even “handle it alone.” But real courage is found in acknowledging what you feel and reaching out when you need support.

Let’s stand together for a future where men are free to express, share, and seek help without judgment 🩵
