Leading mental health service provider In Touch Community Services Inc. (ITCSI) has resumed offering face-to-face (F2F) consultations for fully vaccinated clients. This is in addition to the online counseling sessions that In Touch has been offering its clients in response to pandemic-driven constraints.

ITCSI executive director Mike Calleja said, “We have always been and will continue to be of service to our clients and the community. We have modified our operations and improved our safety protocols to meet our clients’ needs while ensuring their safety, as well as that of our counselors and staff members, in a Covid-19 alert level 1 environment.

“We highly encourage our clients to continue availing of our telephone or web/online video conferencing counseling services as their best convenient option,” Calleja added. “We also encourage anyone with mental or emotional well-being concerns to call our 24/7 free and anonymous Crisis Line. This helpline was created since In Touch was
established more than 40 years ago in the Philippines.”

Aside from counseling services, In Touch also conducts employee wellness programs, and a wide range of community, advocacy, and volunteer programs designed to build mental health awareness and capacity.

MAKATI CITY—Leading mental health service provider In Touch Community Services, Inc. is pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Calleja as its new Executive Director effective October 1. He is replacing Billie Adelman who is retiring after four years of service to the non-profit organization.

Mike brings to In Touch nearly 29 years of experience in the banking industry in the fields of Treasury and HR Management. “In Touch has been operating in the Philippines for more than 40 years. We are confident that Mike’s leadership, experience, and impressive decision-making skills will build our capacity to navigate the next four decades at the least,” said In Touch President and Chairman Ryan Maclang.

Calleja said, “I appreciate the confidence that the In Touch Board of Trustees has placed in me. Mental health is a highly relevant topic right now, more so having witnessed how triggers can be amplified while living life in a pandemic. I see many opportunities for our volunteer-driven organization to reach out to more people, particularly those who are at high risk or unaware that free 24/7 assistance, such as calling the In Touch Crisis Line numbers, is readily available.”
