MindNation launches app to make mental health care more accessible in the Philippines
MANILA, Philippines — October is World Mental Health Month, a reminder that we all need to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and increase efforts to make mental health care more accessible. Fifty percent of Filipino workers are struggling with some form of mental health issue because of financial concerns, job pressures and return-to-office anxieties.
But due to the many barriers to proper mental health care such as stigmatization, lack of awareness and poor accessibility to mental health services, people do not know when, where or how to go for help. They only think to talk to a psychologist when their symptoms are already serious. They do not know that mental health is something that needs to be taken care of every day.
MindNation redefines mental health
Since 2019, MindNation has helped over 200,000 individuals worldwide achieve the company motto of “Better Mind, Better You!” through comprehensive services like 24/7/365 online therapy sessions with psychologists and WellBeing Coaches, webinars, surveys and more.
“When mental health support is convenient and easily accessible, people are motivated to proactively take care of their mental health and make it a habit,” said MindNation Chief Impact Officer Kana Takahashi.
Introducing the MindNation app
To address the need for accessible mental healthcare, MindNation created the MindNation app, a one-stop shop for your holistic well-being needs. With the app, you can now take care of your well-being every day, any day.

Once you have an account, you can start buying, booking and conducting teletherapy sessions within the app itself. Sessions are available 24/7 and are guaranteed safe and secure.
The app also comes with a Daily Mood Tracker and WellBeing Quiz© that you can take regularly to track emotions and understand your state of well-being. Clinically based and data-backed, the results come with recommended ways to attain better states of well-being.
Finally, app users can also access MindED, an on-demand learning program that allows you to master mental health skills, develop good well-being practices and support your journey toward healing through audio/visual exercises, tool kits, and worksheets.
