REFLECTION: PSYOCOSOCIAL AWARENESS FOR TEACHER


The conduct of this training is timely due to the pandemic, the world has drastically
changed. The changes experience during pandemic might burden learners who are challenge.
With that, psychological awareness comes in which the primary aim was placing and
maintaining children in stable and supportive family environments. Psychosocial care and
support activities for vulnerable children must follow the principles of child and lifespan
development even in pandemic. Extended teacher psychological support greatly helps children
to develop away from current harm.

This training give us further information about the cause of psychosocial problems such
as poverty, illness, conflict, neglect, abuse and current crises like pandemic which can all affect
a child’s psychosocial wellbeing. As Mrs. Banquerigo explained we teachers can help extend the
services of the department by assessing parents and students and giving them proper
knowledge that this psychological problem is a burden and it must be address before somebody
succumb and commit suicide.

Psychosocial awareness will help teacher to address learners need especially


psychosocial support for their psychological and emotional wellbeing, as well as their physical
and mental development. Some children need additional, specific psychosocial support if they
have experienced extreme trauma or adversity or are not receiving necessary caregiver support
most specially in a home environment which has no prior knowledge in addressing
psychological problems that may lead to depression and suicide.

It also provide us glimpse of how to prevent mental problems. Prevention in mental


health aims to reduce the incidence, prevalence, and recurrence of mental health disorders and
their associated disability. The psychosocial awareness itself is a mechanism of preventive
intervention based on modifying risk exposure and strengthening the coping mechanisms of the
individual.

The harmful effects of this pandemic are most damaging for those in already
disadvantaged or vulnerable, as the risk for psychological problem further increase due to
inequalities, discrimination and marginalization. To avoid this downward spiral, it is essential to
continue investing in prevention efforts, ensure continuity of psychosocial support services and
opportunities for positive youth development during and after the pandemic. In this way we
ensure all young people will have access to education, life skills development, employment and
recreation/sports opportunities. Above all, strengthening parenting skills and us teachers the
second parent will be necessary conditions for the well-being of youth today and tomorrow.
