The General that is the C.O. of the Western Mindanao Command approved our Healing House Kidnap Recovery Program in Zamboanga City on the WESTMINCOM Base. Colonel Joy Turla and I will be Co-Directing this attempt to help the many Philippine and International victims of Kidnapping if they wish the assistance. For two weeks any victim and their close relatives can stay for free on the Military Base with room and board provided. Counseling/therapy and support will be provided. Time to relax and talk with family as well as fun (but appropriate )activities will be provided. We have 11 volnteers to assist, some of whom have counseling training and one who is a physician. One military officer will be on duty at all times. The family will reside on Base where it is safe and protected. The Coordinator for the Program is the well-experienced Psychologist, Mrs Bayan , who is in charge of the Mental Health and Evaluations at WESTMINCOM for all soldiers.
The HEALING HOUSE with physician/Medical Director of Camp Navarro Hospital, Colonel Joy TURLA, will hopefully be making a contribution to the victims and theit families as well as to the further understanding of the TRAUMA of kidnapping. This is a first in the Philippines and could be a Model Program.
