Your request You requested information on the following for your undergraduate thesis: (1) Specific wellness programs for youth mental health?; and (2) youth centers for mental health. Response to your request Unfortunately, the DSWD has no data regarding your request. Thus, we are constrained to deny the same. The Department of Health (DOH) might have the data you need because mental health is under its purview. Hence, you may wish to direct your request to the DOH. You may make another request via this portal. You may also contact them by telephone at 651-7800 local 5001-5006 or via email at [email protected]. Further, pursuant to Presidential Decree 1509, as amended, the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) is the national government agency mandated to formulate policies and coordinate the activities of all agencies, whether public or private, concerning disability issues and concerns. As mental health is classified as a disability, they may have additional data. Hence, you also may wish to direct your request to the NCDA. You may contact them by telephone at 932-6422 or via email at [email protected].
