Conduct of Supplemental Self-Guided Modules 1- 4 of the SEES

A few more reminders for the teacher/facilitator:

1. This conduct of PFA through Self-Guided Modules refers to provision of PFA
through printed self-guided modules which will be provided to the learners
without internet access and computer equipment. This is the reason behind the
use of darker font colors and larger and bolder fonts as well.
2. Please remember to fill out the table called: List of Contact Numbers and
Information in Module III before you make copies of these modules.
3. Please remind the student to return the answered forms. You must look through
their answers and provide feedback. It will also be a good way to check for signs
of stress and abuse. Please refer students who need additional help or who
need to undergo counseling using the newly-established referral system.

Now look at the Needs Form below. On the first column, list down all the members of
the family whom you live with. On the second column, identify the immediate needs of
this person that your family cannot address as of this moment. On the third column,
identify where you can refer this person to or who you can approach in order to ask
for help regarding the needs of this person. If you do not know anyone who can help
that person, just leave it blank first.

Congratulations on being able to identify where you can refer your loved ones to in
order to get help. It is not easy to be able to do this so if you were able to do so, then
you did a great job!

ANALYSIS

Why do you think it is important for all of you to learn about whom you can go to for
your own needs and the needs of your family?

Why do you think it is important for you to learn about whom you can go to for your
own needs and the needs of your family?

I would like to commend you for knowing whom you can approach in times of need. I
am happy to know that they too have a good support system in you. It’s good to know
that they can depend on you.

ABSTRACTION

Think about news reports that showed how at times, even these linkages could not do
their responsibilities efficiently. Why do you think these groups had a hard time? Can
you also recall some great or good stories about how other groups were able to help
you very well?
