PSA: You Can Now Access HOPELINE Through An App

If you've been feeling anxious and isolated for most of 2020—maybe even finding yourself randomly bursting into tears—you're not alone. Amid a global health crisis, it's normal to feel overwhelmed and afraid. People have been finding different ways to cope but in case you need someone to talk to, there's always HOPELINE, the 24/7 suicide prevention and crisis support desk of New Good Feelings (NGF) Mindstrong. 

They've partnered with telehealth service integrator HealthNow, a joint undertaking of 917Ventures (owned by Globe) and AC Health (the healthcare arm of Ayala Corporation). You can access HOPELINE under HealthNow app's Urgent Help button on the welcome page. Globe and TM subscribers can call the hotline toll-free. 

Apart from HOPELINE, HealthNow helps patients consult doctors, buy medicine for delivery, and schedule appointments—all through a mobile app. 

In a press release, HealthNow's CEO Beia Latay shared, "Our partnership with HOPELINE is an important step to allow more people access to mental and emotional support services, even if this means simply having someone to talk to when they need it the most. We knew that we wanted to collaborate with a reputable group like NGF, whose mission is aligned with ours as we strive to accompany Filipinos in their healthcare journey during these complicated times."
