In many post-disaster situations, huge amounts of resources are poured into the more obvious needs such as rebuilding of damaged and destroyed structures. Recognizing the equally important aspect of helping survivors deal with their trauma, we partnered with the Psychosocial Support and Children Rights Resource Center (PSTCRRC) to educate and train fifty-three duty-bearers from the local government and community on Psychological First Aid (PFA) in our Project H.O.P.E. areas in Guiuan, Eastern Samar. Using their newly acquired skills, they were able to conduct PFA sessions with children and adults from their town. Furthermore, they can be tapped by the local government to conduct the same support service in the event that another calamity or traumatic incident occurs.
