Abstract

This project entitled "Enhancing Relationships: A Closer Look at the Attachment Styles of Selected Students with Parents Working Overseas" was designed and implemented through the Office of Counseling & Career Services (OCCS) in an attempt to explain how having a parent/s working overseas affect the adolescents' attachment styles and on its link with how they relate with other people as well as their subsequent views on relationships. It also tried to address the concerns that adolescents with Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) parents have in order to come up with possible interventions or programs, which could help enhance parent-child relationships. The workshop has three sessions and each session has two activities good for two hours. The contents of the modules include: a] Enhancing Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Skills; b] Improving Communication Skills and Parental Relationships; and c] Synthesis, Integration and Application. The researcher-counselors believed that projects such as this could contribute to the current data about parents working overseas and in order to understand more the nature of parent-child attachment relationships.
