CTOD collaborated with HeadGym, a provider of mental health coaching, training, and consultancy services, to conduct sessions for all teachers and school directors at Wattahen Secondary School in Roka Commune and Tapon Secondary School in Tapon Commune, both situated in Sangker District, Battambang Province, Cambodia.
The project commenced on the 7th of August and concluded on the 11th of August 2023, with a total participation of 45 individuals, out of which 30 were women.
On the 6th and 7th of November 2023, CTOD and HeadGym renewed their collaboration, following up on the earlier training sessions with a total number of 36 participants (women 20 persons). This time, the focus was to delve deeper into understanding the additional support needed by the staff and to assess the impact of the initial training on the teachers and their students. The schools involved were Raing Kesey Secondary School and Wattmim Secondary School in Sangker District, Battambang Province, Cambodia.
