DSWD WiSupport

25/09/2025

Nakikiisa ang Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) sa paggunita ng Su***de Prevention Month ngayong Setyembre. Ito ay isang pagkakataon para magpakita ng malasakit sa kapwa sa pamamagitan ng pakikinig, pag-unawa, at pagdamay, lalo na sa mga dumaraan sa mabibigat na pagsubok sa buhay.
Bilang inyong kaagapay, ang DSWD ay patuloy na nagbibigay ng psychosocial support sa pamamagitan ng WiSupport Program, na nag-aalok ng libreng online mental health consultation para sa mga indibidwal na nakararanas ng stress, trauma, o iba pang mental health concerns.
Nawa’y magsilbing paalala ito na ang bawat damdamin ay may kabuluhan at ang bawat buhay ay mahalaga. Sama-sama nating itaguyod ang pag-asa, malasakit, at pag-unawa sapagkat walang sinuman ang dapat maiwang nag-iisa sa laban.

Ayon sa Mayo Clinic (2024), ang pag-uusap tungkol sa Su***de at suicidal ideations ay maaring mas makahikayat ng 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥-𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙨. Nakapagbibigay ito ng kapanatagan at lakas ng loob na lumapit sa tamang institusyon at humingi ng tulong sa mga propesyunal.

𝐊𝐮𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐦𝐨?

Bukod sa 𝐒𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, ang buwan ng Setyembre ay kinikilala rin bilang 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡. Kaya, narito ang isang mabilis na paalala para sa’yo:

Ngayong buwan, hinihikayat namin ang bawat isa na subukang gawin ang mga sumusunod:
✅ Unahin ang self-compassion kaysa self-criticism.
✅ Mag-set ng realistic goals, one step at a time.
✅ I-celebrate ang maliliit nating tagumpay.

Kaya? Kaya!

Just like how Jose Mari Chan reminds us that the Ber months are here, let this also be a gentle reminder to check in with yourself and your loved ones.

The last quarter of the year can be overwhelming—deadlines, responsibilities, and personal challenges. Don’t forget:

✔️ It’s okay to rest.
✔️ It’s okay to ask for help.
✔️ It’s okay to take things one day at a time.

This Ber season, let’s spread not just holiday cheer but also kindness, compassion, and support for mental well-being. 💙

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga conducted its WiSupport - Wireless Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Information Caravan in Schools at the Province of Dinagat Islands on August 18-19, 2025 covering San Jose National High School, Dinagat School of Fisheries, and Cagdianao National High School.
WiSupport is a program that offers online and phone-based interventions for individuals experiencing mental health concerns. The caravan served as a platform to end stigma on mental health well-being, problems and illnesses and to encourage students to open up about their feelings and to assure them that help is always within reach.
Topics such as stress, anxiety, depression, and su***de prevention were discussed, underscoring the importance of early intervention and the availability of psychosocial support through the program.
The Field Office's WiSupport Caravan in Schools is part of its continuing effort to raise mental health awareness among the youth and provide safe spaces where they can seek guidance without fear or hesitation.
