ABOUT 50 adolescent mothers availed of sessions under a social protection program for young mothers and their children held last July 8 at the Cagayan de Oro City Schools Division of the Department of Education (DepEd).

 

The Social Protection Program for Adolescent Mothers and their Children (SPPAMC) is a collaboration by the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro, the Community Improvement Division (CID) and DepEd City Schools Division with the Rotary Club of Makati.

 

‎The program offers financial assistance and other services such as mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) provided by the City Social Welfare Development Department. ‎

Also included in the session is an introduction to the Alternative Learning System (ALS), a pathway for out-of-school youth and marginalized learners. (LRM/CIO Photos by Cagayan de Oro Teen Center - Community Improvement Division)
