Philippine Mental Health Association

What Philippine Mental Health Association does

The Philippine Mental Health Association, Inc. (PMHA) is a private, non-stock, non-profit organization founded on January 15, 1950, and headquartered at 18 East Ave, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines. It delivers mental health services across three internal departments: the Education and Advocacy Department (EAD), which runs public-awareness campaigns and school-based prevention programs; the Clinical and Intervention Services Department (CISD), which provides out-patient psychiatric, psychological, occupational therapy, special education, and teleassessment services; and the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Research Department (MER), which conducts evidence-based research and program evaluation. Service delivery extends through a headquarters clinic, an online booking system, 8 chapters plus 1 satellite across key Philippine cities, and a community-based program that reaches indigent clients.

PMHA's product surface spans clinical services (Psychiatric Consultation, Psychological Services, Occupational Therapy, Special Education, Teleassessment/Psychological Assessment), rehabilitation and support services (Adult Work Center, Family Support Group), prevention programs for youth (Youth Life Enrichment Program, including LINKid, LINK Club, and PSAMH school clubs), corporate learning sessions, internship programs with partner universities, and a special initiative called Power of Zero Philippines focused on children's digital safety. The underlying technology is conventional: a website and booking portal powered by technology partner Kynatech, an internal staff/patient/doctor authentication system, and active social media accounts. There is no proprietary AI, software platform, or developer-facing API disclosed.

PMHA's business model is a hybrid of fee-for-service clinical revenue, tiered membership subscriptions (Corporate P10,000/yr, Sustaining P3,000/yr, Life P3,000 lifetime, Contributing P300/yr, plus student associate tiers at P20-P100/yr), and donations from individuals and organizations — with donations allocated 80% to programs and services and 20% to operations. Customer segments include the general population (children, youth, adults with emotional/behavioral problems), youth and students through school clubs, corporations seeking workplace mental health programs, LGUs and government agencies (DOH, DEPED, DOLE, UNFPA partners), and recovering mental health consumers. The organization reports 300,000+ stakeholders, 2,000 professional members, 14M multimedia viewers/listeners, and 150 volunteers, but discloses no revenue figures, headcount, or financial statements.
