In celebration of the National Mental Health Week, leading HMO provider PhilCare has joined forces with the local government of Taguig City during the event “Your Mind Matters, You Matter,” that focuses on the health provider’s mental health service arm, Mindscapes.
Mindscapes specializes in developing customizable, tech-enabled programs aimed at supporting employees in their mental wellness journey. The partnership, formally signed by PhilCare President and CEO Jaeger Tanco and Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano, is driven by the mission to equip Taguig constituents with essential mental health literacy tools and screening resources. The initiative aims to combat the stigma surrounding mental health through psychoeducational webinars and foster a culture of openness and understanding.
“The event’s name encapsulates the essence of what both PhilCare and Taguig are committed to — fostering mental well-being is a collective responsibility. We want to reinforce the idea that everyone’s mind matters, and one shouldn’t allow difficult seasons to defeat them. We want them to know that help is always available,” Tanco said.
The multifaceted approach of the collaboration includes providing resources for early detection and intervention of mental health disorders. This involves offering educational materials and insights into strategies for maintaining mental well-being. Mindscapes employs in-app consultations, counseling, virtual visits, and program monitoring to identify and address mental health issues among employees.
Recognizing the importance of quick and secure access to mental health support, Mindscapes has established a robust system featuring experienced counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists. These professionals are readily available to listen in a safe and secure environment, emphasizing the significance of prompt care for mental health. Mindscapes also offers prepaid plans tailored for individuals seeking mental wellness services.
