If you see an employee wearing a fluorescent yellow button pin, with a big smiley face that says “Ask Me About Family Health,” it means he/she is a trained family health peer educator.

Volunteer employees from ABS-CBN Foundation, Bayan Telecommunication, First Balfour, and Rockwell were trained under the Phase 2 of Family Planning in the Workplace program of Lopez Group Foundation Inc. (LGFI) in partnership with Private Sector Mobilization for Family Health (or PRISM). They learned interpersonal skills particularly in listening and assessing what family planning information will be most relevant to common queries.

There are twenty-two (22) peer volunteers trained in Phase 2 and around 100 trained in Phase 1 of the program (the first batch are from ABS-CBN Broadcasting, First Sumiden, Meralco, Skycable, and Tollways Management Corp.).

So if you are an employee of the participating companies, and have a question about family planning, or are simply curious about the program, these peer educators are the right person to ask. You may also call LGFI’s family planning coordinator, Diane Minon at 09213725261.
