A PARTY-list lawmaker has cited the need to give urgent attention to the mental health challenges faced by overseas Filipino workers culled from her talks with the migrant workers during her recent visit to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea.
She said the available literature on the psychosocial distresses of Filipino migrant workers, particularly the study conducted by Dr. Veronica Ramirez, as supported by the University of Asia and the Pacific, the Department of Science and Technology, and the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development, indicate the existence of significant mental health problems among the OFWs, regardless of the host country.
She also emphasized that personnel of Philippine embassies and consulates need to be capacitated to help Filipinos abroad with mental health problems.
