MENTAL HEALTH AND PSYCHOSOCIAL HEALTH SUPPORT SERVICES

NARRATIVE REPORT

I. Introduction

Mental health awareness is an important issue for all educators, who are often the first line of defense
for their students. Education professionals have recognized the impact that a student's mental health has on
learning and achievement, and they realize that there's a great deal that can be done to help students with
mental health issues.

Until mental health education is a mandatory aspect of all schools, teachers and administrators can
work to promote awareness with their students. Key elements to shine a light on include the concept of self-
care and responsibility for one's own mental health and wellness, with an emphasis on the fact that mental
health is an integral part of health, and the concept of recovery from mental illness.

Teachers and students should be provided with ways to recognize signs of developing mental health
problems, and there should be opportunities around the awareness and management of mental health crises,
including the risk of suicide or self-harm. Further, instruction should address the relationship between mental
health, substance abuse, and other negative coping behaviors, as well as the negative impact of stigma and
cultural attitudes toward mental illness.

II. Activities

The activity start with an online webinar for the teachers last October 5, 2020. Different topics about
mental health and psychosocial support were discussed and highlighted. Important pointers about mental
stress, different stressors and how to deal with it were also tackled. After the discussion, there was a question
and answer portion in order to clarify some topics. Other teachers also shared their experience about mental
stress and how they overcome with it.

Mental health was also given to our learners through online orientation. Videos were provided for
them to watch which contain topics about mental health. The videos were animated so that the learners can
easily understand its contains and will not be boring for them to watch. It would be a great help for our
learners at their young age to understand and comprehend about mental health and the different issues about
mental health awareness.

There was also an orientation conducted for our parents. It was done face to face but strictly
observing IATF protocol during the distribution of learners module. Mental health and psychosocial support
services were discussed together with some important school rules and regulations in line with the current
pandemic. They were given some insights on how deal with mental problems and coping mechanism.
