Emergency Psychosocial Support for Secondary School-aged Students Affected by Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines.
The overall goal of the project is to support the Government of Philippines' education system through the enhancement of national and local capacities in response to immediate needs of secondary school children affected by emergency situations such as typhoons, earthquakes and/or floods.
A collaborative effort to revisit existing tools, systems and policies in addressing post-disaster stress among school children, particularly secondary students, was facilitated by this partnership with the Department of Education, their principals and teachers.
This project aims to strengthen the National Education System to respond to the immediate needs of secondary school students affected by emergency situations such as typhoons, earthquakes and/or floods through a collaborative effort to improve the quality of existing psychosocial training module in cooperation with Department of Education.
