✨Our Mental Health and Psycho-Social Services Department Head, Ms. Benamina Plaza was honored to be invited as a speaker at the DOLE XI – Federation of Family Welfare Stakeholders XI 16th Annual General Assembly on Friday, 28 November 2025. She had a privilege to contribute to this year’s discussions by sharing insights on psychological safety, a critical foundation for creating workplaces where individuals feel secure to speak up, contribute ideas, express concerns, and take interpersonal risks without fear of judgment or retaliation.

Psychological safety is not merely an organizational initiative. It is a cultural commitment that empowers people to collaborate more effectively, innovate with confidence, and engage meaningfully in their roles. By fostering an environment where trust, respect, inclusion, and open communication are genuinely practiced, we strengthen both individual well-being and organizational performance.

Our deepest appreciation to DOLE XI and the Federation of Family Welfare Stakeholders XI for providing a platform that amplifies conversations on employee welfare and inclusive workplace practices. Ms. Plaza is grateful for the opportunity to be part of a collective effort toward building safer, healthier, and more supportive work environments for all. 💚

We concluded the final session of our Stress Management Workshop with another inspiring group of resident doctors, who carry immense responsibility yet showed remarkable courage in pausing to care for themselves. Through reflection, sharing, and learning practical strategies, they explored the impact of stress on their work, relationships, and well-being, embracing self-awareness and resilience. This journey was a powerful reminder that doctors are humans first, deserving of rest, balance, and support, and that nurturing their mental health strengthens not just themselves, but the patients and communities they serve.

Deeply grateful for the trust these remarkable resident doctors placed in this process. May they continue to honor their own well-being with the same dedication they offer their patients every single day. 🌿🩺

Today’s stress management workshop with our resident doctors was a powerful reminder that resilience isn’t built in isolation. It grows through community, reflection, and intentional moments of pause. In the midst of long shifts, complex cases, and constant demands, these doctors took the time to invest in their own well-being. Grateful for the meaningful conversations, the practical tools we explored, and the collective commitment to building a healthier, more balanced medical culture. 🌿💙

Peak procrastination energy activated ⏳

Some days you wonder how you manage to get anything done.
You’ve mastered the art of starting a project at the last possible second, only to realize you’ve been working for hours and somehow still haven’t actually started. It’s a mix of adrenaline, denial, and a deep love for the thrill of looming deadlines.

Procrastination is a habit, not a fixed trait, and habits can be changed. Once we understand why we procrastinate, we can take real steps to break the cycle.

During the 26th Anniversary celebration of Davao Doctors Hospital’s Radiation Oncology Department last 13 November 2025, the Mental Health and Psycho-Social Services Department was invited to conduct a session about cancer, its effect on one’s mental health, and how to manage it.

Led by our Psychologist, Ms. Benamina Plaza, the discussion encouraged people facing cancer to recognize their difficult emotions while also remembering that they are more than their diagnosis. She emphasized that it’s normal to struggle, but grounding yourself in supportive relationships, small daily choices, kindness toward yourself, and the present moment can bring strength, hope, and humanity back into the experience.

Our resident doctors dedicate countless hours to caring for patients, often at the cost of their own rest and emotional well-being.

Through engaging discussions and guided exercises, participants explored mindfulness exercises, and healthy coping mechanisms that can be integrated into their demanding routines.🌿🩺
