ACTIVITY PROPOSAL
TITLE OF ACTIVITY : KUMUSTAHAN SA RRCY

LOCATION : Agusan del Sur
DATE : September and November 2020
PROPOSED BUDGET : PhP 40,000.00
RATIONALE:
According to the Canadian Mental Health Association: “Workplace stress is the harmful
physical and emotional responses that can happen when there is a conflict between job
demands on the employee and the amount of control an employee has over meeting these
demands. In general, the combination of high demands in a job and a low amount of control
over the situation can lead to stress.
Stress in the workplace can have many origins or come from one single event. It can
impact on both employees and employers alike. It is generally believed that some stress is okay
sometimes referred to as “challenge” or “positive stress” but when stress occurs in amounts
that you cannot handle, both mental and physical changes may occur.
There is no doubt that staff of the Regional Rehabilitation Center for Youth (RRCY)
experiences inevitable stress as a direct consequence of their caring role. According to a study
conducted in Britain, “these experiences is a complex process and is related to gender, age,
health status, ethnic and cultural affiliation, lack of social support, coping style, in addition to
the stressors of the disorder itself. Carers appear to suffer from at least moderate levels of
psychological symptomatology. The behavioral problems associated with mental disorders
further increase the stress levels of carers”.
The success of rehabilitating children who end up in residential care depends immensely on the
quality of interventions provided by the residential staff like the Houseparents, Social Workers,
and other professionals who stays with the children all day long. Group cohesiveness is seen as
one important tool in addressing stress in the workplace. This gives the members of an
organization share and interact among themselves quite frequently and interpersonal
communication is found very effective.
As described in DSWD Administrative Order No. 20, series of 2018, or the Enhanced
Mechanism on Promoting Occupational Wellbeing and Employee Reinvigoration (EMPOWER),
EMPOWER is a rights-based, holistic and integrated framework of several existing and proposed
standards, programs, and initiatives that promotes the health, safety and wellbeing of DSWD
personnel towards the delivery of quality service. As a comprehensive employee welfare
program, it seeks to rationalize the needs of the DSWD personnel based on the intervening
factors in the workplace and the environment. It provides an array of programs that would
address concerns affecting work performance and employee productivity.
To complement and in compliance to this issuance, RRCY develops mechanisms in order

promote cohesiveness and respond to the emerging challenges encountered by the staff in
dealing with the residents. Among the activities conducted is the institutionalized caring for the
carers which is being held once every semester and the Respite Care. To give more focus and
address the different challenges encountered in the context of running a facility that deals with
Children In Conflict with the Law (CICL), RRCY will conduct a regular consultation among the
staff dubbed as “KUMUSTAHAN SA RRCY”. Hence, this proposal.
