🌸 Pagselebrar nato sa Family Planning Month, usa ka dako nga milestone ang naangkon sa atong Guipos RHU Health Team! 🌸

Tungod sa giya ug pagtudlo ni Ma’am Roxane Alvarez ug Ma’am Zefanie Siyluy, nahimong malampuson ang training para sa PSI insertion.

📣📣Karon, ang TANAN natong mga nars ug midwife nga naka-assign sa matag barangay kay ANDAM na ug KABALO MUTAOD UG IMPLANON. Usa kini ka dakong kalampusan kay mas mapalapdan ang atong health services ngadto mismo sa barangay ug purok level.🍃❤️

Dili lalim ang pagsugod, daghang kahadlok ug kabalaka sa una, pero pinaagi sa pagtinabangay, kaisog, ug dedikasyon sa matag miyembro sa health team — nadaug gyud nato kini nga hagit. 💪

Tinood gyud nga, “Ang ipabiling knowledge ug skills mao ra gyud ang butang nga dili makawat.” Mao nga padayon ta sa pagkat-on ug pagserbisyo alang sa katawhan sa Guipos, kay sa atong pagkahiusa, walay mabilin. ❤️

🌉 Bridging the Gap: Strengthening Communication in the Face of Substance Use and Mental Health Challenges

Yesterday's activity was more than just a program—it was a collective step toward awareness, understanding, and healing. 💙
We were honored to have PNP Chief PCapt Khent Palo and Sir Tecson with us, who provided a comprehensive and eye-opening discussion on RA 9165, emphasizing the importance of community involvement, law enforcement collaboration, and preventive education in addressing substance use.
Equally impactful was the discussion led by our Mental Health Coordinator, Ma’am Divina A. Terencio, who shared valuable insights into the significance of mental health, how it connects with substance use, and how we can all play a role in fostering a more compassionate and supportive environment. 🧠💬

We are deeply grateful for the support from the Local Government Unit (LGU) and the Department of Health (DOH) & DILG. Your presence and partnership made this activity more meaningful and impactful. 🙌

Together, we’re building stronger communication, breaking down stigma, and empowering our community with knowledge and empathy.
Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s keep bridging the gap. 💪

Dako kaayo’g kalipay nga ipahibalo nato nga ang Rural Health Unit (RHU) sa Guipos giila na isip Adolescent-Friendly Health Facility Level 2! 💙

📣📣📣Dugang pa, TANAN 17 KA HEALTH CENTER SA BARANGAY SA GUIPOS giila usab nga LEVEL 1 ADOLESCENT FRIENDLY FACILITY ! 🥳✨

Unsa man pasabot ani?
✅ Ang Adolescent-Friendly Health Facility nagpasabot nga ang atong RHU ug barangay health stations:

✨Accessible – sayon duolon ug ma-avail sa mga batan-on.
✨Acceptable – respetado, tinago ang impormasyon, ug walay paghusga.
✨Appropriate – ang serbisyo kay angay para sa panginahanglan sa mga batan-on.
✨Effective – gihatag sa mga health worker nga na-train ug adunay husto nga kahanas ug attitude.

🏆 🏆Ang Level 2 nga pag-ila sa RHU Guipos nagpasabot nga milabaw pa kita sa basihan — adunay na kitay lig-on nga sistema, na-train nga mga staff, espesyal nga lugar para sa mga batan-on, ug lig-on nga mga programa alang sa ilang pisikal, mental, ug reproductive health.

🏆Ang Level 1 nga status sa tanang 17 barangay nagpasabot nga matag dapit sa Guipos adunay youth-friendly nga pultahan sa pag-avail sa health care, aron walay batan-on nga mabiyaan. 💪👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Usa kini ka milestone para sa kabatan-onan sa Guipos nga posible tungod sa kakugi sa atong mga health worker, barangay leaders, ug suporta sa atong komunidad. Magtinabangay ta sa pagtukod ug mas himsog, mas luwas, ug mas hayag nga kaugmaon para sa atong mga batan-on. ✨
