World Mental Health Day is not just a date on the calendar. It’s a call to pause, reflect, and extend kindness to ourselves and to those most affected by disasters and emergencies.

This year’s theme, “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” highlights a powerful truth: In times of conflict, disaster, or crisis, mental health support is not optional, it is essential.

Let’s take a moment to check in, breathe, and remember:

• Caring for mental health is just as vital as protecting physical safety.
• Healing does not always happen in a straight line, but with understanding, support, and accessible services, every step forward builds resilience and restores hope.

đź’­ Check in with yourself, with a friend, or with someone who might be silently struggling.

Together, let’s make mental health care accessible for all.
Healing begins with care. đź’š

Yesterday, October 6, 2025, in line with the opening of Mental Health Week, the Department proudly hosted the weekly Monday Flag Ceremony.

Afterward, the Department proudly launched “Kasilasa” which means “love and care” in Tausug. At Kasilasa, employees can find a safe space to take a break, to love and care for one’s self.

Kasilasa was formally opened with a ribbon cutting by the Medical Center Chief, Dr. Afdal Kunting; Chief of Medical Professional Staff, Dr. Aeesha Yahcob-Pingli and the Department Chairman, Dr. Nadia Paber.

Join us as we celebrate this new beginning — a space built on empathy, acceptance, and hope. Together, let’s continue breaking the stigma and embracing the beauty of mental wellness.

This was paneled by the case supervisor and department chairperson, Dr. Nadia M. Paber; training officer, Dr. Sheila May D. Aduviso, and OPD administrator, Dr. Van Samuel Calisang. Other presenters were Ms. Janet Daying, social worker; and Ms. Angelica Lee, psychologist.
