Far Eastern University (FEU) faculty highlighted the urgent need for more active mental health support for mothers who faced tremendous loss in the most recent World Psychiatry Congress-Epidemiology.
Leading them were FEU adjunct professor and University of Queensland faculty Dr. Joemer Maravilla.
Three presentations were delivered through the leadership of COCOON Philippines: Joycelyn Filoteo from the Department of Nursing, Dr. Ana Nelia Jumamil of the Department of Psychology, and Dr. Maravilla himself.
In addition, posters were shown by Dr. Reinalyn Cardenas of the Department of Psychology, and Dr. Rachelle Garcia and Dr. Nemencio Santos, Jr. from JPMC College of Health Sciences.
These presentations were well-received by the attendees, especially Prof. Katherine Keys of Columbia University and incoming president of World Pediatric Association Epidemiology and Public Health, who was keen on seeing the studies published.
Events like the World Psychiatry Congress focus attention on the significance of research aimed at the needs of people who are most vulnerable to experiencing bereavement. Furthermore, through the effort of the COCOON team, the discussion on maternal mental health, which is continuously gaining traction worldwide, could inspire new research and interventions.
The commitment of FEU to such research initiatives reflects its vision to make an impact on public health and social welfare. While providing support to its faculty, FEU promotes international collaboration and encourages participation in global forums, demonstrating its dedication to cultivating a research environment that transcends academic boundaries and provides tangible benefits to communities worldwide.
