Mental Health
53IB’s Mental Health Program is in accordance with the Philippine Army Mental Health Program (PAMHP). As 53IB’s Commanding Officer said, “For the Philippine Army, mental health and wellbeing are essential for soldiery. It’s a way of understanding the soldiers’ potential, the way they use their ability, strengthen their resilience, and cope with the challenges and demands of their military and personal life environments.”
This program aims to provide a macro level understanding of the current state of wellbeing of our soldiers and on how to address difficulties and improve their mental health and leadership potentials amid a psychologically-challenging career.
