POLO Conducts Psychosocial Counselling Anew
Abu Dhabi – The Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) Abu Dhabi conducted a Psychosocial Counselling to the wards on October 31, 2020 at the Migrant Workers and other Overseas Filipinos Resource Center (MWOFRC). Labor Attaché Manuel M. Dimaano spearheaded the activity.
Ms. Divina Digap and Salvacion Cruz, both nurses from Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC) and with vast experience in counseling, conducted a counseling session with fifty (50) wards who were divided into two (2) groups. The counseling session involved sharing of personal experiences, particularly about their employment in UAE, meditation and group exercise. These activities helped them unload their emotional baggage and alleviated the feeling of anxiety. Based on feedback from several wards, through this counseling, they learned to understand and respect the situation of each other. They also realized that they still have potential to do more and that working abroad is not the only way to earn money. Labor Attaché Dimaano, who joined in group 1, also shared his personal experiences to inspire the wards. |
