The Philippine Guidance and Counseling Association , the main association of all guidance counselors in the country, appealed to DepEd to offer more “concrete programs” following the reported incidents of suicide involving teachers and students.
Subong, a mental health professional and guidance counselor from Iloilo City, issued this appeal following the statement issued by DepEd Tuesday addressing suicide reports involving some teachers and students. The impact of COVID-19, Subong said, adds up to their individual burden. While others cope adequately, “some will really need help from professionals” such as guidance counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
While Subong agrees that there are other factors that may be involved in suicide, he said that “current situation or experience maybe one of the triggers.”
