THE SILLIMAN University continues to provide aid to communities affected by Typhoon Odette through the conduct of psychosocial intervention.

Dr. Edna Calingacion, SU Psychosocial Processing Core Team head, said they are looking for volunteers that they can train.

“Being able to touch more people’s lives and help in the process of restoration and healing requires willing individuals, schools, and groups to work together for a common purpose,” Calingacion said.

She said that the core team will first conduct the PSP session with frontliners such as church workers, health personnel, and disaster management personnel from affected local government units.

She added that the university will also train volunteers from the faculty, staff, fourth year students, church members, and alumni.

“As a long-range plan, SU will partner with schools in Dumaguete City to respond to the need of providing psychosocial intervention to eight municipalities identified by the SU PSP Core Team – Guihulngan City, La Libertad, Jimalalud, Tayasan, Ayungon, Bindoy, Manjuyod, and Bais City,” Calingacion said.
