After 10 weeks of personal formation and skill-building, trainees from Bugo, Camiguin, Cebu, and CMU gather at Central Mindanao University on July 19 for the momentous ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ค๐ง๐๐ก ๐๐ค๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ช๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ค๐ฃ๐ฎ.
This training was quite a journey. Each session was filled with wisdom and introspection. The trainees gained a comprehensive understanding of critical areas, including the roots and causes of substance abuse and its co-occurring mental health challenges, alongside mastering self-awareness and personal practices to nurture wellness. They have delved into foundational frameworks, such as the Four Quadrants of FIT Recovery and the Four Ps of Wellness and Recovery, while upholding the highest ethical standards in Behavioral Coaching and adapting principles to the unique Filipino-Mindanao culture.
Apart from the lessons, they have discussed and planned for their Dalangpanan project. This free, walk-in behavioral coaching and support space promotes wellness and personal growth for individuals and families in the community.
The success of this program is a testament to the effort of many. This became a reality due to the initiative of ๐๐ฟ. ๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐น ๐ฅ. ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐, whose knowledge and teachings were the anchor, and ๐๐ฟ. ๐๐น๐ถ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ป for her expert supervision and support. Much gratitude is sent to ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ and ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ต๐ถ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ผ for their facilitation, which guided the whole training. Also, the operations team sends their thanks to the dedicated graduation volunteers, ๐ฆ๐ธ๐๐น๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ท๐ผ, ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ฎ ๐ง๐ฎ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป, and ๐๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐ง๐ถ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ. Last but not least, a deep appreciation is given to the communities in ๐๐๐ด๐ผ, ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ด๐๐ถ๐ป, ๐๐ฒ๐ฏ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ผ ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐, alongside every individual who supported this vital program.
The hard work put into this training is worthwhile, seeing that multiple groups have made it their mission to foster community-led mental health recovery initiatives.
