The Bake for Change Project, a two-day Basic Bread Making Training for outpatient and residential clients, was successfully conducted with Ms. Kristine Delos Reyes as the resource trainer, sponsored by SFIST. The training provided participants with practical, hands-on experience in bread and pastry making, covering a variety of products such as Ensaymada, Chocolate Crinkles, Swiss Roll, and Choco Muffins. The activity aimed to equip clients with basic livelihood skills that may serve as a potential source of income and self-sufficiency upon reintegration into the community.

Beyond skill development, the project served as a therapeutic and empowering experience for the Persons Who Use Drugs (PWUDs) in recovery. Engaging in meaningful and productive activities such as baking fosters discipline, focus, and a sense of accomplishment—key components in rebuilding self-esteem and restoring purpose. The Bake for Change Project not only nurtured their culinary potential but also reinforced their commitment to change, resilience, and holistic recovery.

We would like to express our deepest appreciation to Dr. Fulbert Alec Gillego, our Chief of Hospital III, for his exceptional leadership and continuous support of this initiative. His dedication to enhancing the lives of our clients and fostering an environment of growth and healing has been invaluable in the success of this project.

Additionally, we would like to thank VLTS for being the lead section in this initiative, providing valuable leadership and support throughout the project. Your contribution played a pivotal role in its successful ex*****on.

Our Aftercare Section organized a Family Wellness Activity for clients and their families enrolled in the ACP.

The activity was facilitated by Mr. Kurt Essa Rastrullo, a Registered Guidance Counselor, who shared valuable insights on strengthening family bonds, improving communication, and fostering supportive environments at home.

This initiative underscores the vital role of families in the recovery and reintegration of persons with substance use disorders. A healthy and harmonious family relationship serves as a protective factor against relapse, providing clients with emotional security, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. Through activities like these, the Aftercare Program ensures that recovery is not seen as an individual journey alone, but as a collective effort where families become active partners in promoting lasting change.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Fulbert Alec Gillego, our Chief of Hospital III, for his consistent support in strengthening programs that put families at the center of recovery. We also commend the Aftercare Section team whose dedication and effort made this activity possible. Their hard work reflects our shared goal at MTRC: helping clients and their families rebuild healthier, stronger relationships for lasting recovery.
