ABOUT THE SUMMIT
Recovery doesn’t end after treatment. Addiction—whether substance-related or behavioral—does not exist in isolation. It lives in families, classrooms, churches, rehabilitation centers, workplaces, and communities. Relapse often occurs not because people do not want to heal, but because support systems are unsure how to walk with them.
Trust-Based Healing
TIWALA means trust—the foundation of sustainable recovery coaching.
Community Support
Recovery happens in families, schools, churches, and communities.
Trauma-Informed Care
Ethical, non-clinical approaches that understand trauma’s role in addiction.
Whole-Person Recovery
Healing the body, mind, relationships, and spirit together.

Closing Program
The Commitment to TIWALA
We close not with applause — but with commitment.
UNMISSABLE!
Rehabilitation Centers
Treatment saves lives. But recovery is tested after discharge.
Schools & Education Leaders
Addiction shows up in classrooms long before clinics.
Parents, Caregivers & Families
Loving someone in addiction is exhausting.
Faith-Based Organizations

Why This Moment Matters
The Philippines does not lack compassion. It lacks enough trained anchors — people who stay present without controlling, support without shaming, and walk with others when recovery feels fragile.
IMG 3 TIWALA is where those anchors show up.
