Last October 20-22, MindNation and Belle De Jour Power Planner held its inaugural on-ground event “You Got This! Creating Safe Spaces, Crafting Tomorrows” at the East Wing of the Shangri La Plaza. The event aimed to celebrate World Mental Health Day, raise mental health awareness and drive action towards investing in better well-being in communities and workplaces.
During this 3-day gathering, attendees immersed themselves in engaging talks and interactive workshops by mental health experts and advocates. Topics ranged from how to create safe spaces at work to gaining confidence, all highlighting the need for fostering supportive environments to build growth and resilience.
“Mental health is a continuum, where we could be fine one moment but get triggered the next,” said MindNation Chief WellBeing Officer Eiza Fusingan-Lappay. “It’s important we build safe spaces and support each other during challenging times.”
“Community-based mental health is our future,” adds The Millennial Psychologist Riyan Portuguez. “With mental health awareness increasing due to conversations like these, there is now also an increasing demand for more support and resources.”
And finally, tv host, athlete, and World Vision Ambassador Kim Atienza had this to say: “We are in the mindset of a mental health epidemic. Let’s be salt and light to all those we know and meet. We can all do our part to help others achieve Better Mind, Better You.”

To promote the accessibility and affordability of their teletherapy services, MindNation offered “You Got This” attendees complimentary 15-minute one-on-one chats with MindNation psychologists and WellBeing Coaches on-site. Those interested to book full one- hour teletherapy sessions enjoyed up to 50% discount on teletherapy sessions.
Recognizing the importance of effective planning and organization in the quest to support and promote mental health, Belle De Jour highlighted and offered special discounts for their 2024 BDJ Planner Collection. The 2024 BDJ planner collection comprises four distinct planners: Everything is Possible Planner, Work-Life Balance Planner, Health & Wellness Planner, and the Financial Freedom Planner. These planners are not just tools for organizing daily tasks; they also serve as a guide in achieving balance, wellness, and success in all aspects of one’s life.
