Healthy Young Ones (HYO) Training Empowers School-Based Teen Center Managers and Guidance Advocates in SDO Ozamiz City

The Schools Division Office (SDO) of Ozamiz City is now on Day 2 of the conduct of the Healthy Young Ones (HYO) Training for School-Based Teen Center Managers and Guidance Advocates from select 18 schools on May 28–29 at Bethany Gardens Hotel, Ozamiz City, in partnership with Jhpiego Philippines. The two-day training gathered guidance advocates, school-based teen center managers, and LGU partners from the City Health Office and City EdCom Chairperson Councilor Cecile Co committed to strengthening adolescent health, protection, and well-being in schools.

The activity aimed to enhance the knowledge, skills, and competencies of school personnel in delivering adolescent-friendly interventions and responsive support systems for learners. It also reinforced the crucial role of schools in promoting healthy behaviors, mental wellness, responsible decision-making, and positive youth development among adolescents.

The training is highlighting the importance of creating safe, inclusive, and learner-centered environments through strengthened School-Based Teen Centers. Participants engaged in meaningful discussions on adolescent health issues, mental health awareness, gender sensitivity, life skills education, and prevention of risky behaviors among young people. Sessions emphasized the significance of effective communication, guidance coaching, referral systems, and psychosocial support mechanisms for learners facing various challenges.

Program Manager Coleen D. Anugon from Jhpiego Philippines shared valuable insights and evidence-based strategies in adolescent health and development. The organization’s commitment to supporting schools in advancing adolescent-responsive programs was evident through interactive workshops, collaborative learning activities, and practical sessions designed to equip participants with applicable interventions within their respective schools.

The training underscored the importance of partnerships among schools, families, local government units, health agencies, and community stakeholders in ensuring holistic learner support. Participants recognized that adolescent health and protection require collective action and sustained collaboration to effectively address issues such as teenage pregnancy, bullying, mental health concerns, substance abuse, and online safety risks.

Moreover, the activity aligned with the thrust of the Department of Education in promoting child protection, mental health, and learner welfare programs in schools. It reinforced the role of School-Based Teen Centers as safe spaces where learners can access guidance coaching, peer support, and health-related information in a confidential and supportive environment.

On Day 1 participants expressed gratitude to Jhpiego Philippines for its unwavering support and dedication to adolescent health advocacy. They likewise appreciated the opportunity to share experiences, best practices, and innovative ideas in managing School-Based Teen Centers and implementing learner support programs.

Indeed, when our athletes feel that they are cared for, seen, and supported before their games begin, they will be more motivated to give their best.
