SU heads to Cebu for Psychological Processing among Typhoon Tino survivors

The Silliman University (SU) Psychosocial Processing (PSP) Team, in partnership with the University of Cebu–Banilad Campus, conducted a two-day psychosocial support activity for evacuees and survivors affected by Typhoon Tino on December 3–4, 2025, at the Sto. Niño de Cebu Parish in Mohon, Talisay City, Cebu.

With the support of parish priest Fr. Roy Aspera, the sessions served 285 participants from Barangays Biasong, Mohon, and Pooc, many of whom were evacuees or families who had returned to makeshift homes.

The 29-member PSP Team—composed of Silliman University faculty, counselors, staff, students, and alumni from various units and led by Dr. Edna Gladys Calingacion, with Dr. Theresa A. Guino-o as co-team leader—implemented age- and sector-appropriate psychosocial interventions to help mitigate trauma and promote resilience.

Coordinated with UC–Banilad officials and implemented with partner offices, the activity forms part of Silliman University’s Continuing Calamity Response Program, which integrates relief, psychosocial intervention, and rehabilitation, with support from partner organizations and donors that provided school kits and dignity packs for affected families.
