Support, Awareness, Friendship, and Expression (SAFE): Creating an Open and Safe Space for Emotional Well-Being Among Senior Citizens

The Itogon Municipal Health Services Office successfully conducted a two-day Mental Health Awareness Activity for senior citizens on May 27 at Binga Recreation Hall and May 28, 2026 at ITC, Tuding. The activity was organized in partnership with the King’s College of the Philippines – College of Teacher Education and Liberal Arts, with the participation of senior citizens from nine barangays of Itogon.

The program aimed to strengthen mental health awareness and emotional wellness among senior citizens while recognizing their continued importance in the community. Facilitators from College of Teacher Education and Liberal Arts, King’s College of the Philippines facilitated the activity, including Ms. Kaiza Caballero, BS Psychology Coordinator; Ms. Perlita Panganiban, BS Social Work Instructor; Ms. Ma. Lourdes Rosal Aurelio, BS Social Work Coordinator; Ms. Equinia Walsi-en, Associate Dean; and Dr. Dina Teresita P. Balaan, Dean.

Meaningful lectures were conducted focusing on the rights, benefits, and laws for senior citizens. Discussions highlighted that aging is not the end of one’s purpose, but rather a stage enriched with wisdom, resilience, experiences, and valuable contributions that continue to inspire the community.

In line with the SAFE theme, participants engaged in various workshops and activities designed to encourage emotional expression, self-reflection, and social connection in a supportive environment. Senior citizens openly shared their personal stories, reflections, and life achievements, fostering deeper understanding and appreciation among participants.

The activity also featured emotional expression interactive exercises where participants were encouraged to communicate their feelings freely and creatively. As part of the program, they wrote down their dreams, hopes, and wishes, which were later displayed through a collective “Tree of Dreams” symbolizing hope, unity, and positivity among the senior citizens.

To further promote emotional well-being, relaxation and mindfulness exercises were conducted to help participants reduce stress, improve focus, and experience inner calm. Through group interactions and collaborative activities, participants were also able to build supportive friendships and strengthen social connections within the community.

The event concluded with heartfelt reflections and messages of gratitude from both participants and organizers. Senior citizens were recognized not only as pillars of their families but also as active leaders, mentors, and valuable contributors to society.

In his message, Dr. Oliver P. Guadaña, emphasized that mental health remains one of the top priorities in healthcare today. He also underscored the important role of senior citizens as advocates and support systems for the younger generation in promoting health and holistic well-being in the community.

The successful conduct of the activity reflects the continued commitment of the Municipal Health Services Office and its partners including King's College of the Philippines in fostering inclusive programs that promote mental wellness, empowerment, and meaningful engagement among senior citizens.
