The Nursing Service Sub-Unit - Northern Mindanao (NSSU-NM) joins the nation in observing Su***de Prevention Month this September 2026, highlighting the Philippine Coast Guard's continuing commitment to promoting mental health awareness, strengthening psychosocial support, and protecting the well-being of its personnel and the communities it serves.

Su***de Prevention Month provides an opportunity to raise awareness about su***de prevention, reduce the stigma surrounding mental health concerns, and encourage individuals experiencing emotional or psychological distress to seek appropriate support. It also emphasizes the importance of early recognition, compassionate communication, and timely intervention.

As part of its commitment to holistic health and well-being, NSSU-NM encourages all personnel and community members to remain vigilant and supportive of one another. A simple conversation, a compassionate response, or guiding someone toward professional help can make a meaningful difference.

NSSU-NM further calls on everyone to help foster an environment where individuals feel safe to speak about their struggles without fear of judgment. Mental health is an essential component of overall readiness, resilience, and effective service.

Together, let us promote a culture of compassion, understanding, and hope. Let us remind one another that asking for help is an act of courage and that no one should have to face their struggles alone.

Recognize. Reach out. Listen. Support.
