SC launches mental health app for judges

The Supreme Court (SC) has launched a mobile application dedicated to promoting mental health among judges across the country.

The app was officially unveiled on May 30, 2025, during a ceremony at the SC Session Hall as part of the Court’s Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations 2022–2027 (SPJI). Associate Justice Mario V. Lopez, vice chairperson of the SC Governing Council for Mental Health, said the app not only detects early signs of burnout but also guides policy reforms and programs to support judicial well-being.

Judges can access the app through Microsoft Power Apps or via their mobile browsers. It was developed under the SC CARES (Supreme Court Compassion, Awareness, Education, and Save) initiative and was piloted with more than 300 judges at the Regional Mental Health Summit in Davao City.

The development was supported by clinical psychologists Dr. Arnulfo V. Lopez, Dr. Antero Rosario V. Arias Jr., and Dr. Joy R. Tungol. The Judiciary is also exploring ways to make the app available to all court personnel in the future.
