What we eat affects how we feel, think, and act. Just like the heart and other organs, the brain needs the right mix of nutrients—like healthy fats, proteins, vitamins, and water—to stay strong and work well.

Serving healthy food at the fire station can help improve mood, reduce stress, and support better mental health.

A healthy plate for a healthy mental state.

With all the responsibilities we carry this red alert season as firefighters, it’s no surprise that rest often takes a back seat. But 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹!

Self-care includes practical steps to improve your health and well-being, no matter how small they seem. While on station standby, something as simple as enjoying a cup of coffee while reflecting on the good things that happened earlier in the day can help foster a positive mindset. ☕🌱

Take a moment to reflect on how you can practice self-care both on and off duty. Here are a few ideas to get started:

🟢 Aim for at least 2.5 hours of physical exercise each week;
🟢 Choose and follow a healthier, well-balanced diet;
🟢 Check in with your mental health regularly; and
🟢 Cut back on or quit alcohol, to***co, and other vices.

Self-care can be practiced “24 hours a day/ 7 days a week’. Make it a habit. ☺️

We’re reclaiming the S line, and giving it meaning.

You may not fix what hurts.
You may not understand it all.
But you can be the warmth they remember.

• Let the tears fall without needing reasons. That’s Support.
• Offer quiet company. Sit with them. That’s a Safe Space.
• You didn’t walk away. You let them feel seen. That’s Someone Who Stayed.

Trace a line that leads to hope.
Be the S that saves.

Social media helps us stay connected with loved ones, find support through online communities, express ourselves, and stay informed. It can foster a sense of belonging, boost self-esteem, and offer emotional support.

But while it can nourish our mental health, it can also bring the opposite. It can cause stress, unhealthy comparisons, and feelings of sadness or isolation.

That’s why mindful use matters.

✅ Choose content that inspire, educate, or uplift you. Check for quality.
🔇 It’s okay to mute, unfollow, or ignore accounts or content that feels heavy, stressful, or draining.

Every scroll, like, and follow shapes your mindset.

Click on what nurtures your mental health.

BFP-CAR has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Benguet State University (BSU) on May 30, 2025 to provide free mental health services to its uniformed and non-uniformed personnel.

This partnership addresses the heightened risk of firefighters developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns due to the demands of their service and the limited access to mental health resources.

Under the agreement, BFP-CAR personnel will receive free mental health interventions from BSU. In return, BFP-CAR will provide fire safety services, assist in student internships, and support research initiatives. The partnership not only promotes the well-being of firefighters but also strengthens BSU’s academic and community engagement.

By recognizing the critical need for mental health care among frontline responders, BFP-CAR and BSU affirm their shared commitment to accessible and professional mental health support.

Firemen tend to stay quiet when under pressure. Help your brother open up by:

🟢 Asking him how he’s doing;
🟢 Sharing mental health resources; and
🟢 Creating safe spaces where he feels heard without judgment.

Let’s end the month by starting meaningful conversations around men’s mental health.
