Over 600 students from Talisay City National High School (TCNHS) underwent RAFI Center for Leaders (CFL) Developing Resilience in YOUth course. Students from Grades 7 to 12 participated in the sessions. In total, nine four-hour sessions were conducted in May through June.

Some of the participants’ key takeaways from the session encompass understanding what resilience is, how significant it is for them as students, and how they can build it through different methods that they can easily practice.

TCNHS’ Master Teacher 1, Ms. Candice Grace Maque, who is also an alumna of RAFI CFL, spearheaded the initiative to have the students take the course.
