Today marks a meaningful collaboration between the Sagay Population Office, City Health Office, City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD), Sagay National High School, and the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Team "Team Sigay" as we conducted an AHD Class and HEADSSS Assessment for selected Grade 11 students of Sagay National High School.
This initiative aims to understand the root causes of rising cases of anxiety, depression, and self-harm among adolescents. Through the HEADSSS framework (Home, Education, Activities, Drugs, Sexuality, Suicide/Depression, and Safety), we hope to gather insights and provide early interventions for our youth.
๐ก The activity also included an Adolescent Health and Development Class, where students learned about:
โ
The Reproductive System
โ
Sexuality and Gender
โ
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
โ
Responsible decision-making and overall adolescent well-being
These sessions are designed to empower students, equip them with lifesaving knowledge, and promote mental and emotional resilience. ๐ฑ
๐ While we've only completed 3 sections today, this is just the beginning. More sessions are lined up in the coming days as we continue reaching more students in need of support, education, and guidance.
Together, we build a future where every young person becomes a champion of their own mental health and well-being. ๐๐
