Nurturing mental health
For parents, family members....."Find the time to talk and encourage them to introduce you to their friends and peers, and if possible, even their parents. Host gatherings if you can, and take turns to foster deeper connections. Try getting into their world to find out what their interests or concerns are, and let them know where they can play a part in yours as well. Creating an atmosphere where there is room to discuss sensitive issues may help in normalizing the importance of preserving and nurturing mental health."

Taking care of ourselves isn’t just a checklist—it’s actually about knowing what’s right for us at the moment. By mapping our energy into zones, we can better tune into our internal state—physically, emotionally, mentally, even spiritually. This helps us recognize when we’re flourishing and when we are languishing, and anywhere else in between. Being in touch with ourselves enables us to see where our limits are with specific things, and when we need some rest or healing.

These zones could be detailed as follows:
PERFORMANCE ZONE: Feeling energized, focused, and productive?
Celebrate and reward yourself while taking intentional breaks.

SURVIVAL ZONE
Overwhelmed, feeling angry or irritable?
You might want to slow down and decompress.

BURNOUT ZONE:
Running on empty, feeling hopeless and sad?
Try seeking support and connection. It gets easier with help from others. Step back, see the bigger picture and get some rest.

RECOVERY ZONE:
Renenergizing, gaining vitality and feeling peaceful?
Take your time in this zone and thank yourself for resetting.

Time to talk about it

💬 “Paano Ko Siya Matutulungan?”
This Su***de Prevention Month, we’re opening space for a conversation many of us have quietly struggled with:

How do we support someone we care about when they may be going through suicidal thoughts?

This Kapihan is for anyone who wants to help — to feel more confident in supporting a friend, family member, classmate, or coworker who may be struggling.

We’ll talk about how to recognize warning signs, start caring conversations, and guide someone toward getting help — while also reflecting on the barriers that can make it difficult to speak openly.
