DepEd urged to ‘reach out’ to students, teachers
The Philippine Guidance and Counseling Association , the main association of all guidance counselors in the country, said the provision of psychosocial support services as well as counselling is very crucial at this time as both students and teachers feel the brunt of the pandemic.
Subong, who is also a guidance counselor and a career specialist, shared that “everyone needs” MHPSS. A master teacher at the Iloilo National High School, Subong shared that “there was a spike in suicide cases” in the province in the previous months. As reported to him, two students supposedly committed suicide.“While they work from home, there are other issues especially with the surviving finances and they are also pressured by deadlines so many of them might already be at the point of breaking down,” he explained.
Amid the pandemic, Subong said that there are many emotional baggage especially among students and teachers. “It is a right of a student to avail guidance and counseling but we may not have enough guidance counselors who can provide these services in schools,” he said.
