The Anxiety and Depression Support Group - Baguio Youth Advocates is a community-based organization dedicated to building an empowered and psychologically healthy environment in the city of Baguio. As we understand the growing prevalence of mental health challenges among the youth, we aim to raise awareness, dismantle stigma, and create a safe space where young individuals can seek guidance and find solace. We strive to offer a supportive and non-judgmental platform for individuals who are struggling with mental health issues. Peer support is recognized to have a significant role in coping with these difficulties like depression and anxiety. Hence, we organize support group meetings, educational campaigns, workshops, and public events to disseminate accurate information, challenge misconceptions, and promote dialogue around mental health.
