In Mandaue City: Teachers, kids to go thru stress debriefing

CEBU, Philippines - Public school children in Lapu-Lapu City, some suspected of still suffering from emotional shock, will undergo stress debriefing following the magnitude 7.1 earthquake and aftershocks that rocked the island last October 15.

Violeta Cavada, head of the City Social Welfare Services, said teachers will be debriefed first.

“Inig human og stress debriefing sa mga teachers, sila na pud ang mubuhat ana sa mga bata,” Cavada said.

She said some children may have experienced sleepless nights, loss of appetite, and emotional shock.

Bidlisiw, the foundation that looks after children’s welfare, has prepared a module for the teachers and children.

The foundation will conduct the training of the teachers. (FREEMAN)
