Mental health support for Emmanuel after military deployment
A course of family counseling for Emmanuel could change everything; the cost is $305.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines1,226 views
After military deployment, Emmanuel has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Manila cost $20 each.
Emmanuel has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Emmanuel could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Emmanuel, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $305 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $260
• Psychiatric assessment: $40
• Workbook and resources: $5
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts. Wishing Emmanuel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update
Hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hang in there, Ismael. Looking forward to the next update. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
You're not alone, Ismael. Get well soon.
stay strong, Ismael. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Manila!
