Mental Wellness for Every Young Filipino

At the heart of our mental health work is a belief in community, collaboration, and change. We are addressing the mental health needs of young Filipinos with a three-pronged approach: empowering communities through training, forging strategic partnerships for multi-sectoral initiatives, and advocating for evidence-based policies at all levels. Our initiatives like Play It Forward, EDUC+, and #MindYourHealth are making a real difference in the lives of young people.

Imagine a school environment where every student feels seen and supported. That's what we're striving for. We're revolutionizing Screening and Assessment through universal screening, allowing us to proactively identify and address mental health needs. We're empowering school personnel with Specialized Intervention training, enabling them to be the first line of support for students at risk. And we're forging stronger connections with mental health professionals through an enhanced Referral System, ensuring students receive the specialized care they deserve. We're building a community of care, one school at a time.

Heads Up PH (HUP) helps build mentally healthy learners through our approach anchored on the Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) Framework, which covers preventive and specialized programs, until referral.

We design programs based on creating evidence-based interventions, through capacity-building sessions, supported by advocacy campaigns for awareness-raising, and highlighting quality partnerships for a whole-of-society approach.
