At KASAMA MH & Psychosocial Services, we are deeply committed to supporting the well-being of Filipino families. The MAPANATAG program is a culturally sensitive, mindful, and attunement-based parenting intervention specifically designed for first-time parents who have experienced childhood emotional abuse and neglect. We understand the unique challenges this can present, and we're here to walk alongside you on your parenting journey.

MAPANATAG is more than just a parenting program; it's a supportive community. It's a place where you can find understanding, learn valuable skills, and connect with other parents who share similar experiences. The Tagalog word mapanatag means feeling reassured, calm, and at peace. This is the heart of our program—empowering you to feel mapanatag in your parenting journey. We believe that by nurturing your well-being, addressing past trauma, and equipping you with practical tools, you can create a positive and loving environment for your child.
