SENATOR Sherwin Gatchalian has reiterated the need for the establishment of a school-based mental health program in light of the death of two female teenage students in Taguig City last week.In a statement, Gatchalian expressed alarm over the mental health of the youth.“I feel the greatest sense of urgency in combating the mental health crisis engulfing our schools,” he said.
Gatchalian urged authorities, as well as the Department of Education and the Taguig City Government to expedite the process and ensure accuracy in unraveling the circumstances surrounding the “tragedy.”If passed into law, the school-based mental health program will be institutionalized to strengthen the existing mental health and guidance and counseling program aimed to ensure and promote mental health and well-being of learners.
