Affordable Teletherapy in the Philippines: MindNation's Stress Relief Offer

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. 

“Stress Less, Save More” offers two limited time discounted offers: 

• Trauma Processing Bundle – Now ₱5,400 for 5 1-hour sessions with a licensed MindNation psychologist (Trauma expert) from ₱9,000 (40% OFF)
• Get Things Done Program – Now ₱1,200 for 3 1-hour sessions with a trained Motivation Coach from ₱2,400 (50% OFF)

This initiative aims to raise awareness of the real and lasting impacts of stress, while also providing affordable pathways to healing and personal growth for individuals across the Philippines.

“At MindNation, we believe mental health support should be accessible, proactive, and rooted in empathy,” said Cat Triviño, Co-Founder and Chief Product and Data Officer of MindNation. “Stress Awareness Month is the perfect opportunity to encourage people to finally prioritize their well-being and make it easier to do so without financial burden.”

Mental Health, Now Giftable

The discounted bundles may also be gifted to loved ones — a thoughtful alternative to the usual tokens of care. With e-coupons and no limit to the number of bundles that can be purchased, individuals can now support a friend, sibling, or colleague who may be quietly struggling.

This initiative is part of MindNation’s broader mission to normalize healing, promote mental health equity, and help communities thrive by taking proactive steps toward better well-being.

The “Stress Less, Save More” promo runs until April 30, 2025 and is open to individuals aged 18 and above. All sessions are virtual and can be booked by emailing book@mindnation.com.

LRMC announces free LRT-1 rides on Independence Day and launches new beep™ card promo

 

The private operator of LRT-1 Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) joins the nation in celebrating the 124th Philippine Independence Day on 12 June 2022 with special promotional offers for commuters.

Starting 12 June 2022, the total cost of a new beep™ card with load will be PHP50 from the previous total amount of PHP100. The cost of the beep™ card itself remains at PHP30, but the minimum load required for new beep™ card purchases has been reduced to PHP20 from the previous amount of PHP70. Passengers may avail of this special offer until 30 September 2022 at LRT-1 teller booths only. beep™ cards have a validity of four (4) years, which is subject to extension upon request at the LRT-1 stations.

“We are launching this initiative to make the beep™ card more accessible, more affordable for budget-conscious passengers. Through this promo, they can now buy a reloadable Stored Value Card (SVC) or beep™ at half of the previous total cost of a new beep™ card with load. This aligns with LRMC’s Tap2Ride campaign which aims to promote the use of contactless transactions in LRT-1 for safety and convenience,” LRMC Head of Corporate Communications and Customer Relations Jacqueline S. Gorospe said.

“Aside from safer and faster travel, passengers can enjoy a wide range of benefits when they use beep™ such as discounted LRT-1 fares which can mean savings for commuters. There are more ways now to reload their beep™ cards such as Ticket Vending Machines, beep™ loading machines, and LRT-1 merchant loading kiosks – all located in LRT-1 stations. They can also use beep™ as e-money to purchase food or services from select LRT-1 merchants,” Gorospe added. 

Moreover, LRT-1 passengers will enjoy a free ride from 7:00am – 9:00am and 5:00pm – 7:00pm on 12 June 2022 as part of the yearly Independence Day promo. Existing beep™ card holders shall pass through the usual Automated Fare Collection System (AFCS) gates and tap their cards to avail of the free ride without charge. Passengers without beep™ may get single journey tickets for free from the LRT-1 teller booths.

LRT-1 will follow normal operating hours on Independence Day, with the first trips leaving both Baclaran and Balintawak stations at 4:30am, and the last trips at 9:15pm (LRT-1 Baclaran Station) and 9:30 pm (LRT-1 Balintawak Station).
