AnchorED 1M is our national call to train and certify one million Filipino mental health coaches and first responders by 2030. It’s how we’ll make the Philippines the Mental Health & Well-Being Capital of Asia.
We believe the people who can make this happen are already here — in our schools, workplaces, barangays, and churches. They just need the coaching skills, the courage, and the chance.
This isn’t about waiting for “the system” to save us. It’s about everyday Filipinos becoming anchors — people who stand steady for others when the waters get rough.
Training that fits our culture, our challenges, and our strengths — delivered 100% online, with dedicated nurturers per cohort.
Every AnchorED program is practical, tested, and designed to create real change where you live, work, and serve.
