Strengthen | Quidan Kaisahan Staff Development Training
With a strong commitment to strengthening the organization, especially its backbone, the staff, Quidan Kaisahan conducted a Staff Development Training focused on deepening our shared commitment to child protection. From top management to administrative assistants, everyone came together to learn, reflect, and grow.
The training opened with Ikigai, a session that helped staff reconnect with their core values, motivations, and passion in pursuing Quidanโs mission. This was followed by a Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) session facilitated by Janelle from our partner organization, Negrosanon Young Leaders Institute (NYLI), highlighting the importance of inclusive, equitable, and accessible approaches in achieving our vision and mission.
Other enriching sessions included: Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) by Consuelo Foundation, which strengthened staff understanding of trauma not only in children and communities but also among co-workers fostering empathy, trust, and a psychologically safe work culture. Kapwa-based Non-Violent Communication (NVC), which reinforced Trauma-Informed Care by equipping staff with practical tools for compassionate communication, empathetic listening, and respectful conflict engagement anchored in the Filipino value of shared humanity. Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL), which was appreciated not merely as paperwork, but as a vital process for listening to communities, learning from experiences, strengthening accountability, and improving the quality and impact of our programs.
By strengthening how we reflect, communicate, and learn together, we strengthen our organization and our commitment to protecting and upholding the rights and well-being of children.
