Our mission is to promote and protect mental health through social media and internet technologies with a vision of achieving a mentally healthy community.
#MentalHealthPH was conceptualized in April 2016 during the Healthcare and Social Media Summit 2016 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) organized by #HealthxPH.
