That’s a wrap for our 3-day PsySE-HCPN (Psycho-socioeconomic Health Care Provider Network) Pilot Training!

From October 16 to 18, SHIP, together with the PsySE-HCPN team, brought together an incredible group of healthcare providers, community workers, advocates, mental health professionals, and social welfare experts! The pilot batch focused on exploring new strategies, sharing insights, and developing impactful content that will shape future training sessions. Our ultimate goal? To build and strengthen the PsySE Health Care Provider Network—ensuring more inclusive, compassionate, and responsive care for people living with and affected by HIV in the Philippines.

A huge thank you to our lead trainers— Michelle Amarilla-Climaco, John Gabriel Co, and Rod Olete—and to our dedicated participants for bringing their expertise, passion, and energy to this important initiative! Next steps? We’ll refine the curriculum based on the valuable feedback received during the pilot, and we can’t wait to roll it out to the broader community soon! Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for being part of this transformative journey. Together, we’re making a difference!

We share our congratulations and pride for our SHIPmates and our very own Executive Director, Jerome Daclison, as he takes his oath for his appointment as Member and Representative from Non-Government Organizations Working for the Welfare of Identified Key Populations for the Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC)!
