Dahil , did you know that the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) now offers an Outpatient Benefit Package for Mental Health to all its members? Developed through the PhilHealth STUDIES Program, this package supports PhilHealth’s goal of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by using research to improve health access.

This benefit is available for more serious conditions like PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder
Mental disorder), which affects people who’ve experienced significant trauma, such as survivors of natural disasters or combat veterans. This benefit package was introduced by PhilHealth during the launch of the Philippine Council for Mental Health's Strategic Framework for 2024-2028.

Mahigpit na yakap sa lahat!

Have a Stress-Free Holiday Season !!!

🎄 We, Filipinos, often see the holiday season as a time for happiness, family, and celebration. But it can also bring 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙭𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 — from financial pressures to social expectations.

Acknowledging and understanding these challenges is important. It helps us become more aware of how the holidays affect us and find ways to take better care of ourselves.

This holiday season, let’s make it a point to check in on ourselves and our loved ones. 🫂💚💙
