“…In the case of drug addiction recovery especially, the propensity to seek help appears to be influenced by microsystems (family, community members, and leaders) as well as macrosystem factors. Studies have revealed that Filipinos are reluctant to seek help especially from professionals (Tuliao, 2014). Hechanova and Waelde (2017) explain that this may be because of shame (they do not wish to tarnish their dignity or damage the reputation of their family) or stigma (believing that seeing…”

Although urbanization is linked to modernization and economic growth, it is also associated with overcrowding, population density, poverty, inadequate social services, and violence, all of which put the urban poor at risk of environmental health problems and other dangers. Moreover, experiences of environmental and psychological adversity increase vulnerability to mental health disorders. Unfortunately, in low resource countries, mental health treatment is largely inaccessible to the poor. This paper describes the challenges in the development and implementation of community-based mental health interventions in the Philippines. It summarizes the internal and external resilience factors and vulnerabilities of clients. It also highlights the key drivers and barriers to establishing community-based mental health interventions in the Philippines.

“…The Philippines has also been described as a collectivist and interdependent culture. Filipinos have a difficult time saying 'no' to friends and family (Hechanova & Waelde, 2017;Tuliao, 2014). On the one hand, the tendency to conform can be a challenge for drug users who want to quit.…”

This article documents the development of a community-based drug intervention for low- to mild-risk drug users who surrendered as part of the Philippine government's anti-drug campaign. It highlights the importance of developing evidence-informed drug recovery interventions that are appropriate to the Asian culture and to developing economies. Interviews and consultations with users and community stakeholders reveal the need for an intervention that would improve the drug recovery skills and life skills of users. Evidence-based interventions were adapted using McKleroy and colleagues’ (2006) Map of Adaptation Process (MAP) framework. The resulting intervention reflected the country's collectivist culture, relational values, propensity for indirect and non-verbal communication, and interdependent self-construal. The use of small groups, interactive and creative methodologies, and the incorporation of music and prayer also recognised the importance of these in the Philippine culture.

“…Hesitancy in seeking mental health services could be related to public stigma or a fear of being labeled as mentally ill. According to Tuliao, a few cultural factors prevent Filipinos from obtaining mental health services such as public stigma, embarrassment, shame, and even the collectivist beliefs. Accordingly, previous studies have argued that the main barrier to seeking professional help among Filipinos is the potential for “hiya” or loss of face …”

“…The lack of guidance or offering of health services related to PPD may be attributed to the high number of clients that each health unit serves. In the Philippines, there is a serious shortage of mental health workers and, in most cases, mental health facilities are confined to the urban areas . As a consequence, essential mental health services such as PPD services may not be adequately implemented .…”

Design and Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. One hundred sixty-five women who visited maternal facilities in the rural areas of the Central Philippines completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).Findings: The prevalence of PPD was 16.4% at the sixth postpartum week.Occupation and marital status had significant direct influences on PPD. PPD services were not routinely provided by doctors and nurses.Practice Implications: Our results highlight a greater need to intensify government programs relative to PPD services, specifically related to the early detection and screening of PPD among high-risk pregnancies.
