3. ResilienceinChildren
In the context of disasters and/or emergencies, the well-being and mental health of
children are partly dependent on their resilience as this involves an individual’s capacity
to face, overcome, and be strengthened or transformed by the impact of such disasters
and/or emergencies.
The International Resilience Project (1995) posits that there can be three (3) sources of
resilience for children or factors that help children overcome adversities which can be
described and expressed as follows:
I H
a
ve
The IHave factors are the external supports and resources that promote resilience in
children. These factors lay the foundation for developing feelings of safety and security
which is the core of developing resilience in children. The International Resilience Project
emphasizes that this foundation is necessary before children can be secure in their
awareness of who they are or what they can do. The IHave factors include:
Trusting relationships
Structure and rules at home
Role models
Encouragement to be autonomous
Access to health, education, welfare, and security services
I Am
The IAm factors are feelings, attitudes, and beliefs within children; these are their
internal and personal strengths. The IAm factors include being:
Lovable and having an appealing temperament
Loving, empathetic, and altruistic
Proud of self
Autonomous and responsible
Filled with hope, faith, and trust
I Ca
n
The ICan factors are children’s social and interpersonal skills which they learn through
interaction with others or from others’ teaching or modeling. The ICan factors include
interpersonal skills such as
Communication
Problem-Solving
Managing feelings and impulses
Gauging the temperament of self and others
Seeking trusting relationships

4. PrioritizingtheWell-beingofChildren
Well-Being
Is a state of health, happiness, and prosperity
which we have influence over
.
The different types of well-being, illustrated on
the right, thrive through feelings of safety,
involvement and participation, and our
capacity to adapt and develop.
When we design our psychosocial support
activities, we can consider the different types of
well-being.
Achild'swell-beingisinfluencedbydifferentfactorssignificantto

ent
Family/Caregiver are primary sources of love,
care, and protection
Community is a secondary source. The school,
teachers, and staff have a significant role in
influencing well-being
Culture and Societyis a tertiarysource that
affects the community, family, and child through
different beliefs, practices, and resources.
Risk Factors are elements that increase a child’s
susceptibility to a decrease in well-being and
resilience.
Protective Factors are elements that reinforce a
child’s healthy development, well-being, and
resilience.

5. PsychosocialSupportActivities
One of the ways to develop resilience and nurture the mental health and well-being of
children is through Psychosocial Support Activities. Specifically, psychosocial support
activities are:
Activities and interventions that meet the psychological and social needs of
individuals, families, and communities;
Provided in times of crisis to help manage normal distress and prevent mental
health concerns; and
Reduces the risk of vulnerability while strengthening protective factors
Psychosocia
lSupportActivitiesinclude:
Psychoeducation and awareness raising on mental health
Life and vocational skills development
Recreational and creative activities
Sports and physical activities
Restoring family links
Child-friendly spaces
Community committees
Cultural and traditional rituals support
Support and self-help groups
Psychological First Aid*
*Note:
As a psychosocial support activity, Psychological First Aid (PFA) is specifically applied in
the context of disasters and/or emergencies or situations that may cause distress or
trauma to individuals. PFA is defined as a humane, supportive response to a fellow
human being who is suffering and who may need support. PFA involves:
Non-intrusive practical care and support
Assessing needs and concerns
Helping people access basic needs (food, water, information, etc)
Listening to people, but not pressuring them to talk
Comforting people and helping them feel calm
Helping people connect to information, services, and social supports
Protecting people fromfurther harm

6. ExpressiveArts(EXA):TheArtsforSelf-Expression
One psychosocial support activity is arts. Arts are forms of play that engage children,
which means that as children make art, they are able to express themselves better
since play is a child’s natural language. Different art forms stimulate different parts of
the brain. so; play around, experiment, and create a variety of activities to engage and
have fun with children while nurturing their well-being.
When playing and doing art activities, children are able to:
Increase their ability to concentrate
Solve problems
Gain a sense of mastery
Build self-confidence
Release tension and reduce anxiety
Communicate their ideas
Express feelings that maybe difficult to talk about
Develop fine and gross motor skills
Develop social skills
Expressive Arts can be used for the following:
Healing. The arts help us understand and express feelings related to stressful
experiences
Learning. The arts engage us in broader learning concepts
Fun. The arts foster joy and happiness
You may use the SMART Play Table, seen on pages 1
1to 17, as a reference for different
art modalities and their implications for healing and learning.
It issimplyhumantoengageinplayandcreatebeautifulthings;noonecantake
thisawayfromus.Letusgiveourselvespermissiontoplayandmakeart!
Note:
In order to stimulate proper brain development, socializing, and learning, focus first on
establishing safety. If children do not feel safe, they will focus their attention on survival.
Let children know that the classroom is a safe space and that they can approach their
teachers if they need help or support. Below are some of the things you can do to make
your learners feel safe:
Create a routine to reduce feelings of uncertainty
Take time to do breathing, mindfulness, and movement activities to soothe emotions
and feel balanced
Create space to talk about feelings, and only if they want to share
Work with parents/family to create consistency and continuity

7. Principles:T
he7S' of Psychosocia
lSupport
Listed below are the 7 principles of an Expressive Arts-based Psychosocial Support.
1.Safety. Emotional and physical safety are essential for healing to take place; this
builds trust and creates an environment where self-reflection and self-expression
become possible.
2.Self-awareness. In school, at various age groups, there is a growing self-awareness
of one’s body, separateness from others, and ability to express needs and preferences.
Through specific activities, this growing knowledge of self serves as a building block for
gaining more complex developmental skills such as problem-solving and self-
regulation, which can lead to health, stability, resilience, and confidence.
3.Self-expression. The process of identifying feelings and sharing this both verbally
and non-verbally, in the presence of a caring adult who is attentive to both the learner
and the creative process, is fundamentally what psychosocial support work in the
classroom is about.
4.Self-regulation. This is the ability to manage one’s emotions. Since the mind and
body are interconnected, this skill is key to achieving a sense of equilibrium mentally,
physically, and emotionally. Since the mind and body are intricately connected, one’s
ability to manage strong emotions is key to healthy daily functioning.
5.Problem solving. This critical life skill can be learned through any process that
involves art making. It can begin with resolving the simple dilemma between choosing
blue or green to color, or deciding what colors to mix to make a new color, or deciding on
one’s own specific rhythm or beat in a song or a dance sequence.
6.Self-confidence. A strong sense of self-esteem and self-confidence is essential to
experiencing success in school and in finding one’s way through adversity, and art-
based activities can help encourage children to reflect on, identify, and express their
strengths and values. As a stabilizing factor, the school or any child-friendly space that
builds on children’s strengths become healing spaces particularly for children who do
not receive affirmation in other aspects of their lives.
7.Self-compassion. When children receive empathy in times of distress, they learn how
to demonstrate this towards themselves and others as well. Caring adults who model
compassion and empathy indirectly teach children how to show this to others in times of
difficulty. These activities that involve the facilitation of a trustworthy adult as well as
interactions with others promote the development of empathy and appreciation for
differences and unique abilities, talents, and ways of coping.

8. Age or grade level of learners
What is most appropriate for them given their age or grade level?
Skills and abilities
What are they capable of doing on their own?
What tasks would they still need some assistance with?
Interests
What are most of them into these days?
How can elements of these be possibly integrated into the activities to encourage
more engagement?
Cultural and religious background
What are important things most of them consider sacred?
How should some themes be approached given their cultural and/or religious
beliefs and traditions?
Time and materials available
How much time exactly can weallot for the entire activity?
What existing materials are already available?
What are cost-efficient materials that can easily be sourced?
What are some alternative materials we can consider using?

Emotional Space
8
This allows both the teachers and learners the freedom to explore during the session,
and the assurance of safety and confidentiality throughout the activities. Creating
Emotional Space will usually require the teacher or facilitator to:
Establish boundaries
Establish a routine
Be observant of how the learners are feeling, and respond with appropriate activities
Communicate in a way that affirms the creative process and supports the emotional
safety of the space
Physical Space
The physical frame around the relationships between teachers, learners, and art is the
classroom or the learning space. It is necessary to establish this frame to offer the
learners the physical and emotional safety to play, discover, and learn, and to contain
overwhelming and chaotic feelings. This frame constitutes the physical and
psychological conditions within which healing becomes possible.
This involves preparation of materials and deciding on the physical set-up of the
classroom or venue where psychosocial support session is to be conducted. This allows
for a smooth flow of activities and decreases interruptions while said activities are
ongoing. It is most important to consider that learners feel a sense of order and are
invited to engage fully in the activities given the set-up.
10. The following diagrams are suggestions on how to go about the set-up that may be
applied to classrooms depending on the activity design, availability of space, and
availability of materials.

11. 1. During Check-in and Grounding: Be compassionate
Try to notice and be attuned to the energy of the group; adjust whenever is necessary.
Remind the group about the agreed upon guidelines.
Create an environment where learners feel safe and cared for.
Recognize each person in the group.
2. During the Main Activity and Sharing:Be curious
Remember that all the insights shared are valid.
If learners have a difficult time sharing, you may encourage any type of sharing or
simply just sit with them.
Meet learners where they are at; provide options and choices.
Echo back what was said by the learner and validate feelings that were expressed.
3. During the Synthesis and Closing Activity: End positively
Deliver summary and final message
Observe your learners and decide on the best way to end
Note down learners who may need extra support
End with a positive closing activity that helps the learners leave the session feeling
strong and grounded

19. Caregivers are also affected by disasters and/or emergencies, which may threaten their
ability to offer safety, stability, and nurturance therefore interventions or activities
promote the well-being of caregivers should also be prioritized so they can provide the
psychosocial needs of our learners.
As a caregiver
, remember the following:
Eat well, get enough sleep and physical exercise
Do something fun or meaningful everyday
Speak up and reach out to others
Minimize substance use
Be realistic about what you can and cannot control
Identify your own signs of stress
Make time for relaxing activities
Practice gratitude
Be kind and gentle with yourself
Seek professional support when needed

1.Give your learners paper and drawing materials.
2.Tell the learners that today, they will be drawing something about themselves.
3.Ask the learners to divide their paper into quadrants, or into four.
4.Ask the learners to write down these statements as titles of the following
quadrants:
a.First or top left quadrant:“Something Ilove”
b.Second or top right quadrant: “Something Ilove about myself”
c.Third or bottomleft quadrant:“Someone who loves me”
d.Fourth or bottom right quadrant: “Something Iam good at”
5.After, ask the learners to draw what corresponds to the statement in each
quadrant. For example, in the first quadrant, learners will draw something that
they love. They may draw more than one thing in each quadrant, if they feel like
doing so.
6.Give the learners ample time to finish drawing.
7.Divide the class into groups of five or six. Ask your learners to share their drawings
with the group. Remind learners that they may offer affirmations to each one who
shares in their group.

You are enough just the way you are. While we make space for hard feelings in our
lives, it’s good to also remember that there are many things to be proud of in our lives.
Itis good to notice all the good things about yourself, including the things you love and
the people who love you. Bringing these into awareness helps build self-confidence.

Understanding the emotional language of learners
Knowing the emotional language of your learners is part of being attuned to where each
of them might be - mentally, emotionally, psychologically - at any given time. This also
comes with the understanding that humans, including children, have ways of
manifesting their feelings without necessarily using words. Here are some of the ways
you may observe your learners’ expressions and how they are:
1.Facial expression. What does your learner show on his/her face? This may include
tense expressions or a lack of expressiveness.
2.Quality of speech. Do your learner’s words become disorganized? Is he/she rambling
or having a hard time getting the words out? Do his/her words seem more babyish or
regressed than usual?
3.Tone of voice. Does your learner’s voice become louder, softer, higher pitched?
4.Posture. What does your learner’s body look like? Is he/she curled up? Are his/her
fists clenched? Are his/ her muscles tense or loose? Is his/ her posture closed or
open?
5.Mood. Does your learner’s mood overtly change? Is he/she normally even-tempered
but becomes more reactive in the face of intense emotion? If so, pay attention to
signs of moodiness - it can serve as a warning that something is wrong.
6.Affect modulation capacity. Does your learner have a harder time than usual being
soothed? Does he/she start to need more comforting from you or from somebody
else? How receptive is he/she to comfort? Does this change in the face of stress?
7.Approach and avoidance. Does your learner become withdrawn or retreat? Does
he/she become overly clingy? Does he/ she seem to want to do both at the same
time?

24. Communicating with learners about their art
Taking on the role of being a gentle companion to your learners, it is best not to assume
or interpret or give your own meaning to their works of art. Allow them the space to
freely express themselves through their art, by sharing about their own creation. The
following questions are suggested to help facilitate this process, whether via one-on-
one sessions or within a sharing group:
1. Ask about CONTENT
What is the storyof your art?
What do you see?
Does something surprise you?
What do you like about it most?
What title would you give it?
2. Ask about PROCESS
What do you feel about making your art?
What was going on in your mind while you were making this?
If the workcould speak to you, what would it say?
If you were to speak to your work, what would you say?
23
25. Red flags are thoughts and behaviors that may manifest deeper mental health concerns
and may need further screening or assessment by the school’s guidance counselor or a
mental health professional. As teachers and psychosocial support facilitators, you
should be mindful and observant of these thoughts and behaviors to be able to quickly
link a learner to more appropriate care; you are not expected to handle such thoughts
and behaviors by learners alone. Should you observe any of the red flags, connect and
coordinate with your school guidance designate or division guidance counselor as
needed.
Below are the usual red flags that can be manifested by learners from different age
groups:
Children ages 6-1
2
Isolate themselves and/or become quiet around friends, family, and teachers
Have nightmares or other sleep problems
Become irritable or disruptive and have outbursts of anger which often leads to
fights
Refuse to go to school and have difficulty concentrating
Complain of physical problems
Develop unfounded fears
Become depressed and become filled with guilt
Feel numb emotionally
Do poorlywith school and homework
Adolescents ages 1
2-1
7
Flashbacks to the traumatic event (flashbacks are the mind reliving the event)
Avoiding reminders of the event
Drug, alcohol, tobacco use and abuse
Antisocial behavior, i.e. disruptive, disrespectful, or destructive behavior
Physical complaints
Nightmares or other sleep problems
Isolation or confusion
Depression
Suicidal thoughts
