The Benefits of Affordable Counselling: What mWell Offers

The digital healthcare division of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation, mWell, is strengthening its holistic health and wellness platform with cheap mental health services in response to the mental health concerns that impact millions of Filipinos. With the release of the Mind Health Score in May, mWell is now charging as little as ₱499 for sessions with licensed mental health coaches. mWell, the only Philippine health and wellness app accessible worldwide, offers Overseas Filipino Workers, workforce members, and students mental health help.

mWell Chairman and MPIC Chairman and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan says, “mWell aims to transcend geographic boundaries and provide holistic wellness to our countrymen. Mental wellness is an important part of this, and helps us to make the most out of our lives. We look forward to helping even more Filipinos take control of their health wherever they may be.”

 

“As an advocate of holistic health, mWell is here to help through our Mind Health Score and self-guided modules. We have also made it affordable and accessible for everyone. By becoming healthier in mind and in body, Filipinos can provide better for their family, help the economy, and contribute to uplifting the country and the world,” said mWell CEO and President and MPIC Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer Chaye Cabal- Revilla.

Empowering Students, OFWs, and Members of the Workforce with Digital Mind Health Tools

More student mental health care is desperately needed, according to recent reports. By utilizing the Mind Health Score function of the app, mWell empowers users to meet this demand.

Users of mWell can enhance their general mental health at their own speed thanks to it.

This guarantees that when away from home, OFWs can interact with Filipino mental health coaches and counselors who offer features and services that can assist them in managing stress, anxiety, and other difficulties.

Additionally, mWell collaborates with different businesses to design tailored initiatives that support holistic health and boost productivity at work. The Mind Health features improve employees' well-being and productivity by giving workers the tools they need to manage stress and anxiety.

Mind health issues affect more Filipinos

In the Philippines, mental health is still a touchy subject that many people deal with in silence. At least 3.6 million Filipinos, according to the Department of Health (DOH), are affected by mental, neurological, and drug use diseases. For every 100,000 Filipinos, there is less than one mental health worker, according to the Philippine Mental Health Association. Because mental health services are so expensive—they might cost anywhere from ₱1,000 to ₱4,500 per session—access to them is still restricted.
