MindNation Launches up to 50% OFF on Teletherapy Sessions to Support Filipinos During Stress Awareness Month

In recognition of Stress Awareness Month this April, mental health and well-being organization MindNation is offering up to 50% OFF on select well-being programs to empower individuals to take action on their mental health and emotional healing.

Stress is a natural part of life and plays an important role in survival and growth. But when it becomes chronic, it takes a toll on both mental and physical well-being. Unchecked stress can lead to:

• Increased risk of anxiety and depression
• Sleep disturbances and chronic fatigue
• Reduced productivity and workplace burnout

According to 2024 MindNation WellBeing Survey results, 72% of employees report feeling stressed at work often or more than half the time. While 49% say they can cope well, many remain unsure about their ability to manage stress.
