Today, on 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, we pause to remember a truth that often gets overlooked: that 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.🫂

In a world where many are fighting silent battles, where grief, exhaustion, and loneliness sit heavily on the shoulders of countless individuals, acknowledging this truth becomes an act of compassion and courage. No one should ever feel ashamed for struggling. No one should be made to hide their pain. And no one should be denied support simply because their wounds cannot be seen.👀

You made it, volunteers! 🎉

Warmest congratulations on completing the Project Dial-a-Friend workshop this November 15, 2025. We deeply appreciate the time, effort, and compassion you poured into this experience. Thank you for showing up with so much heart. 💖

Welcome aboard, and congratulations once again! 💚

☕ In Case You Missed It!

During the 4th Live Session of Project Dial-A-Friend’s “The Warm Cup: Brewing Conversations on Mental Health”, our two insightful guest speakers reminded us that taking care of others starts with taking care of ourselves.🫶

“Always consider natin yung sarili natin, hindi naman selfishness ang pag consider sa sarili, ang pagbibigay ng panahon sa sarili, at paggawa ng mga bagay na gusto nating gawin for ourselves.” by Mr. Jose Mari A. Hulleza, MA, RPm, RPsy

“Let’s look at burnout as a sign; not of weakness, but of being human. It’s our body and mind telling us to pause, breathe, and take care of ourselves.”by Ms. Charie Jane M. Lao, JD, MSP, RPm

🗓️ Date: October 11, 2025

Let’s continue to brew meaningful conversations, practice self-compassion, and care for our well-being as we support those around us. 💚

🎉 Happy Birthday, Kuya Vince! 💜
You’re the creative force that makes PDAF shine! Your designs and edits always bring warmth and life to our page, and we can see how much heart you pour into everything you do. Thank you for your effort, humor, and creative energy. Wishing you more inspiration and joy in the year ahead. 🌻

It's 𝗠𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵!

This month, we stand with men everywhere as we break the silence surrounding mental health. 🧠

To all the men out there: it’s okay to feel, to rest, and to ask for help. You don’t need to carry everything alone. Strength isn’t about silence, it’s about honesty, healing, and courage to open up when it matters most.

Let this month be a reminder that you, too, deserve care, peace, and understanding.
Your mental health matters too not just today, but every day. 💬🤝

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, one conversation at a time. 💙
