The 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙞 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙝 would not have been possible without the effort, time, and energy of our dedicated officers and volunteer confidants. 🌱

Your dedication, warmth, and empathy turned a small booth into a safe and healing space for everyone who stopped by.

Indeed, you are the true advocates of hope, understanding, and listening movement — 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙖 𝙞𝙣𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙪𝙨𝙤 𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙨𝙮𝙤! 💚💙

To the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC), thank you for providing us with a free venue at Rizal Park, helping bring our Mental Health Mission closer to the public. To every visitor who shared their time, laughter, and reflections, you made this day meaningful beyond words.

🌼 Advocacy and volunteerism are born not from obligation, but from compassion — from the quiet courage to care, to listen, and to act. 🌼

Since 2019, Mental Health Hour Manila has continued to build safe spaces for every voice and every story. Together, we move forward — one conversation, one connection, one heart at a time.

🤝 Join us in our future Mental Health mission and events.

If you or your organization would like to partner with us, collaborate, and contribute, please send your invitation and intent to mentalhealthhourmanila.ph@gmail.com.

Your kind support enables us to reach more people and spark more conversations that bring healing. Together, let’s normalize mental health conversations and create safe spaces, and amplify the listening movement. 🌻

✨ 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚, 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚! ✨

Our Mental Health Awareness Mini Booth, held last October 26, 2025, at Rizal Park, was a success! 💚💙

From sharing our Mental Health Toolkit, expressing emotions on the Mood Tracker Board, and spreading kindness through Self-Love Poster and Kindness Bingo, art, and games — individuals of all ages took a moment to pause, breathe, and learn more about mental health. 🌿🎨

Visitors also reflected through our Confession Box, where they dropped written thoughts on guilt, their younger self, gratitude and appreciation, and untold secrets — gentle reminders that it’s healing to let feelings out and be heard.

💭 They also received mental health awareness stickers and picked inspiring messages from our Bible Verse Jar, spreading hope and encouragement one note at a time. 🙏💚

We also distributed whistles to Luneta guards and workers — those who truly need them for their unwavering service.💂

Among our memorable encounters was a father who convinced his son to step out for a walk at Luneta. The mother works abroad, and he shared how thankful he was that they passed by our booth — saying it made their bonding more meaningful and opened space for conversation. He admitted his son rarely leaves his room and truly needs mental health guidance. 💚

One family happily marked yellow on the mood board for “Happy,” until the dad joked, “Si Mommy...violet—nerbyos yan! Manenerbyos sa magagastos namin today!” 😆 Small moments, big smiles.

Another touching story came from a homeless father who shared, “Iba talaga pag malawak ang pang-unawa ng kausap mo. Kailangan natin ng tamang tao na mapagsasabihan.” A reminder that empathy can truly heal. 💚

Thank you to everyone who dropped by, and to the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC) for providing our free venue and making this mission possible.

💬 Were you able to visit our booth? Comment below — we’d love to hear your favorite part!

☕🌳 See you again at our next event as we continue creating safe spaces for every story and every heart.

This is an annual celebration which aims to 𝙨𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 awareness, 𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚 stigma, 𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝 safe spaces, and 𝙛𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 conversations about mental health. This was firstly initiated in the year 1992 by the 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 and was then supported later on by the 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 by year 2013.

This also focuses on 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 people, 𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 support to help people recover, and 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 society to have more compassion towards one another thus leading to change. 🌱
