Brigada Eskwela: Biga Elementary School
In response to evidence-based practice and the growing need for counselors to expand their roles to become globally competitive which include advocacy strategies and interventions into counseling practices, the Far Eastern University- Guidance & Counseling (FEU-G&C) along with its vision-mission and aspiration aims to continuously improve its services by providing responsive, dynamic, innovative, and accountable programs that will cater to the needs of the students. As 21st century counselors, FEU-G&C implements its Tams Advocacy Programs (TAP) consisting of PEER Counseling Program (PEER), Drug Abuse Prevention Program (DAPP) and the Anti-Bullying Program (ABP) which aim to develop and empower students to become agents of change by championing a cause to address the needs of the society.
The G&C-TAP empowers its stakeholders by providing the knowledge and skills through information and module training. By empowering the stakeholders, they are able to build support/
core groups that share a common advocacy. In turn, the core group implemented projects to promote
formidable advocacy to the community. It will serve as a catalyst in identifying the needed policy to be formed, changed or further strengthened to support the thrust that the program is focusing on.
Moreover, the Tams guidance program consists of 14 guidance services and 11 dynamic and responsive programs together with the TAP programs designed for specific target groups and support the students’
holistic development.
There are also creative therapies offered to the students, such as art therapy, cinema therapy, music therapy, “pan de soul” (psychological nourishment for the body and soul) and other support groups for preventive guidance and catharsis.
Students are also provided with psycho-educational trainings and seminars in coordination with G &
C’s various partner agencies and in collaboration with the University’s institutes, departments, and student organizations.
