Abstract:

This study aims to expand the understanding of mental health, its importance, and the promotion of mental health services within barangays in the Philippines. 16 barangay healthcare workers in Bacoor City participated in a questionnaire survey, with five individuals undergoing follow-up interviews. The researcher used a self-made 5-point Likert-scale to measure the level and relationship of accessibility, awareness, and applicability of mental health services. The findings of this study revealed a significant positive correlation among the key factors of applicability, awareness, and accessibility of mental health services. This correlation underscores the potential for substantial enhancements in mental health services through targeted interventions.
