🧠 BREAKING THE SILENCE. BUILDING AWARENESS. 💬
Last October 19, 2025, the Youth Development Empowerment Aroma (YDEA) proudly joined Session 1 of the Group Work facilitated by the committed Social Work interns from Marinduque State University (MarSU) under KKFI.
The session focused on the timely and important topic: “Understanding Trauma and Mental Health Awareness.” It was a safe and open space where youth participants—including YDEA members—reflected on personal and collective experiences, gained knowledge about mental health, and learned how trauma can affect our lives and communities.
As an organization, YDEA stands in solidarity with efforts to break the stigma surrounding mental health. We believe that awareness is the first step toward healing, and we are grateful to be part of a conversation that empowers the youth to take care of themselves and one another.
💙 Mental health matters. We’re in this together.

🌟 BUILDING CONNECTIONS, IGNITING CHANGE!

On October 11, 2025, the Youth Development Empowerment Aroma (YDEA) had the wonderful opportunity to take part in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) facilitated by the dedicated Social Work interns from Marinduque State University (MarSU), currently assigned at KKFI.

The discussion gathered the youth of Aroma along with SK Kagawad Mary Lasap, creating a safe and open space for dialogue, sharing, and learning. YDEA proudly joined the session to introduce our organization, our mission, and how we aim to support and empower the youth in our community.

More than just a one-time event, this FGD served as a stepping stone for the interns’ upcoming Group Work sessions, which we’re excited to be part of. We believe this is just the beginning of meaningful collaborations that will uplift and inspire the young people of Aroma.

💛 Together, we learn. Together, we grow.
