Working with Cebu City's Youth Leaders to Strengthen to Mental Health Awareness 💙

We are honored to work with Barangay Lahug's Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK), represented by KK President Nicole Odon, to pilot the Self-Love corner at Lahug's Mr and Ms SK Event. By working with barangay youth leaders, projectWAVE demonstrated how easy it was to create a space where people feel seen, heard, and connected.

Project WAVE: Pillar 2 – Wave Makers brought together Barangay Health Workers and SK Leaders for a full-day Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Workshop focused on learning, reflection, and community care. 💙

Through open discussions, interactive activities, and shared experiences, participants strengthened their understanding of mental health, active listening, and how to better support the people around them.

From awareness to action, every session reminded us that stronger communities begin with empathy, understanding, and people willing to show up for one another.

Thank you to all our participants, facilitators, and partners for making this initiative possible. Together, we continue building:

✨ Stronger Minds
✨ Stronger Communities
✨ Stronger Future

Real conversations create real change. 💙

The Global Shapers Community Cebu Hub conducted a Focus Group Discussion with the youth leaders of Barangay Lahug to better understand the realities, challenges, and opportunities surrounding mental health in their community.

Through open dialogue and shared experiences, these young leaders helped shape conversations on how communities can become safer, more supportive spaces for mental wellness. Because meaningful mental health initiatives begin by listening first. 🤝

This activity is part of our continuing commitment through Project WAVE to empower communities and co-create solutions grounded in the voices of the people they serve.

April 18 at CREMDEC was a day of showing up—for ourselves and for our communities. 🌊

From understanding mental health and psychosocial support, to exploring self-awareness through the Johari Window, to practicing ESER, our barangay health workers and SK leaders leaned into the work.

These photos are a glimpse of what happens when communities are given the space to learn, reflect, and lead.

Behind every number is a story.
