Mindful EQ | Mental Health Training for Employees
Fostering mental health awareness is not just a responsibility but a necessity. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) underscores the importance of mental health programs in workplaces. According to Dr. Ma. Imelda S. Santos, Chief Labor and Employment Officer of the Bureau of Working Conditions, employers must “develop appropriate policies and programs on mental health in the workplace designed to raise awareness, address stigma and discrimination, support individuals at risk, and facilitate access to treatment and psychosocial support.” (DOLE, 2019)
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health disorders as a “broad range of problems with different symptoms,” often characterized by abnormal thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships with others. (WHO, 2019) In the Philippines, mental health challenges are significant. The Department of Health (DOH, 2018) reported that mental disabilities rank as the third most common disability in the country. Additionally, nearly 3.2 cases of suicide per 100,000 Filipinos were attributed to depression in 2019. (World Population Review, 2019)
