Key Wellness & Safety Strategies (PE & Health: Protecting Self from Intentional Injuries)

Intentional vs. Unintentional Injuries

  • Intentional injuries: harm caused deliberately by someone, such as:
    • bullying, physical assault, self-harm, abuse, extortion, suffocation, shoving, battering, and some abrasions
  • Unintentional injuries: accidents, such as:
    • slipping/falling, vehicular accidents, burns while cooking, accidental drowning
  • Important note: some injuries can be both, depending on the situation (e.g., drowning or burns).

Where Risks Can Happen

  • House: domestic violence, child abuse
  • School: bullying, fights
  • Street/Community: robbery, assault, gang-related violence (in some areas)
  • Work/Farm/Sea: unsafe conditions and specific hazards

Goal: stay prepared based on the environment you’re in.

Protective Factors (“Shields”) for Healthy Development

These help reduce risk and support better decision-making during danger or stress:

  • Resilience: bounce back and manage difficult situations
  • Social connection: supportive relationships with family, friends, and community
  • Social-emotional competence: express feelings and interact positively
  • Concrete support: know where/how to get help and understand awareness of rights
  • Knowledge of rights: understand responsibilities and what you can do to stay safe

Prevention Strategies for Violence, Gang/Youth Violence, and Abuse

  • Strengthen parental involvement and monitoring
  • Build family support and open communication
  • Use good coping and interpersonal skills
  • Maintain positive peer connections and support academic achievement
  • Avoid alcohol and drugs
  • Use community support structures (e.g., barangay youth councils/school organizations)

For abuse:

  • Seek medical care immediately
  • Know where to get help (e.g., DSWD, trusted teachers)
  • Make a safety plan and secure evidence
  • Talk to a trusted adult/counselor
  • Consider legal protection (e.g., restraining order)

Prevention Strategies for Kidnapping/Abduction

  • Strong friendships and social support
  • Safe neighborhoods and community cooperation
  • Awareness of surroundings
  • Coordination between families, schools, and barangays

Practical safety habits:

  • Inform parents where you are going
  • Avoid talking to strangers
  • Report suspicious behavior to authorities

Self-Advocacy & Personal Safety Rights

You have the right to:

  • Say no
  • Ask for help
  • Be safe and respected

This also includes building confidence to support yourself and others.

Adolescence Awareness (Emotion Regulation Support)

Adolescence brings big changes (physical, emotional, social, mental, moral). Recognizing these helps you:

  • manage mood changes
  • choose healthier responses under stress

Empathy and Bystander Action Against Bullying

When you witness bullying:

  • Comfort/support the person being bullied
  • Remind them of their worth
  • Speak up and help them not feel alone

Friendship and empathy are treated as strong protective factors.

Positive Problem-Solving (Step-by-Step Method)

  1. Identify the problem clearly before reacting
  2. Think of at least three solutions
  3. Consider consequences of each option
  4. Choose the best solution and act calmly

Example: if you’re being bullied, don’t fight back physically—instead report it and seek help from a teacher or counselor.

Coping Through Support Seeking (Where/How to Get Help)

Talk to:

  • a trusted friend
  • family members
  • someone knowledgeable about the problem
  • a guidance counselor or psychologist (professional help)

Self-care via Positive Self-talk

Use supportive inner statements to stay calm and confident, such as:

  • “I can handle this.”
  • “I’ll do my best.”
  • “I’m proud of myself for trying.”

Purpose: reduce fear/stress and build resilience.

Reflection & Practice

  • Apply strategies to real-life problems (conflict, stressful school situations)
  • Reflect on:
    • how you solved the issue
    • how you could solve it using problem-solving, support seeking, and self-talk
