🎉 Congratulations, SK Kagawad Arnel Sarte, RPsy! 🧠💚
We are proud to share that SK Kagawad Arnel Sarte, a practicing psychologist, for being interviewed by Rappler on the important and timely issue of school violence and recent school shootings in the Philippines.
As a psychologist and youth leader, Arnel shared insights on understanding the experiences of children and students, recognizing their needs, and how families, schools, and communities can provide the support and safe spaces that young people need during difficult times.
This is a meaningful opportunity to amplify the importance of mental health, prevention, compassionate intervention, and the protection of our youth. 🫶
Your SK Damar family is proud of you, Arnel! 💚 Continue using your voice and expertise to advocate for the well-being and safety of our kabataan. 🌱

Congratulations, Kagawad Arnel! 🎉👏
Rather than neatly condense all the violence and trace it to one root cause, psychologists choose to ask the difficult questions about each individual case. Each child in conflict with the law is not just a perpetrator, but a highly vulnerable person.
