I/O PSYCHOLOGY DIVISION 2012 SUMMER OUTREACH

The PAP-Industrial/Organizational Psychology Division conducted simultaneous multi-stakeholder strategic planning sessions (titled PAIRALAN - Pagpapairal ng Planong  Pampaaralan: From Intended to Implemented) with the Ateneo Center  for Educational Devt (ACED) last April 21-22, 2012. Seventeen IO Division members and colleagues volunteered to facilitate the sessions with the 10 QC public high schools that included Balara HS, Camp Crame  HS, E. Rodriguez HS and Quirino HS among others. Facilitators were: Sally Caballero, Maria Vida Caparas, George Lu, Golda Crisostomo, Eugene Hontiveros, Doris dela Cruz, Susan Mostajo, Silfa Napicol, Emerico Rasing, Marivic Sanchez, Rodrigo Tomas, Agnes Montalbo, Joan Marasigan, Joy Calleja, Josephine Perez, Kay Dulay, and Raul Rodriguez.

Through the sessions, the principal, teachers, parents and barangay officials of each school were able to clarify their mission and vision, identify priority areas and goals based on an assessment of the school, and craft doable action plans that we hope to have considerable impact on the students.

Aside from facilitating the simultaneous sessions, the facilitators likewise gave important feedback on the program and will work with ACED to ensure that this will be improved for the succeeding runs (especially when we partner with them again in November).

This project was spearheaded by the Outreach Section of the IO Division headed by Sally Caballero and Marivic Sanchez.

Title

Workshop B:  Psychosocial Interventions for Traumatized Communities


Synopsis & Objectives

Man-made disasters continue to affect some areas of Mindanao. The recent devastation of Typhoon Sendong in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan and the flashflood in Davao City killed thousands and destroyed millions worth of crops and properties, leaving many traumatized survivors.  Various stakeholders and volunteers responded to the different needs of those affected, while psychologists and other allied professionals participated in delivering psychosocial interventions that promote emotional healing.  Even with their good intentions, however, some practitioners were challenged with certain aspects of this endeavor, which include both facilitating the recovery of traumatized children and sustaining interventions from individuals to the level of communities.  This 1-day workshop will address these gaps through: 
a)  Nurturing an understanding of trauma in individuals, families and communities;
b)  Introducing various applicable psychosocial interventions for individuals and groups; and
c)  Discussing effective strategies that are relevant to community needs.  

Participants
Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Guidance Counselors, Social Workers, allied mental health professionals, school administration, teachers, parents, medical specialists (e.g., pediatricians, family physicians, etc.), NGO workers, and HR practitioners
