What is ADUA?ADUA means the number “two” in the Kapampangan language. Dua also means the number two in Ilocano. Two symbolizes the power of two people coming together to talkstory, listen, affirm, inspire, support as people walk their path towards healing and wellness. The significance of two is that we can choose to not face our life experiences and/or challenges alone. Through ADUA we work together with our amazing community partners and collaborators of the ADUA: Filipinx Mental Health Therapist Network. Because of them, we are able to have our Filipinx Mental Health Counseling Scholarship Program that offers Filipinx identified adults 18+ living in the San Francisco Bay Area access to FREE mental health and wellness services. |
