What a day to remember! 💛�
Part 2 of Peer Training brought us closer, challenged us deeper, and reminded us what it truly means to be a peer; it is to care, to support, and to grow together. 🌟

Here are some snapshots of the laughter, teamwork, and learning that made today extraordinary. 📸💥

And with this, our Peer Training journey continues — stronger, brighter, and ready for what’s ahead. 🚀

This September, we stand in solidarity for 𝐒𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲 with the theme “Changing the Narrative on Suicide.” 💜

Every 40 seconds, someone in the world takes their own life, and in just the first half of 2025, nearly 2,000 Filipinos have lost their lives to mental health struggles.

𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐭, 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐭. By recognizing the warning signs, reaching out, and checking in on our loved ones, we can make a difference.

Even the smallest conversation can save a life. Together, let us raise awareness, break the stigma, and create a community where every Nationalian feels nurtured, valued, and supported. 🫂

Remember: 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝. ❤️‍🩹
