These dual crises have not only caused physical devastation but also led to significant psychological and emotional trauma for the learners in the areas. The compounded effects of these disasters have disrupted their education, safety, and well-being creating an urgent need for targeted mental health and psychosocial support.

The following are the target schools that were selected: Campo Uno Elementary School from Matanog Municipality due to flash flood, Bai Hanina Sinsuat NHS, Mompong PS and Don A Martinez ES from Datu Odin Sinsuat Municipality due to Armed Conflict.

Abdul,RN as HNU Nurse In-charge and Maria Jeanilyn C. Cabanban,RN as Mental Health Focal; Division Nurses: Bai Priscilla S. Balang,RN, Maricar B. Wahab,RN, Pinky Z.

* Train additional DepEd health personnel and other program coordinators to be a certified Food Safety Compliance Officer (FSCO); and
