Abstract:
The focus of this experimental study was to determine the level of effectiveness of the psychosocial
support activity pack in developing psychosocial well-being and adjustment among Grade 6 pupils of
San Francisco Elementary School. Project JOY – Join our Youth was proposed to serve as a guide
for teachers and parents in outlining strategies and activities that can be implemented to strengthen
psychosocial support. The respondents were 40 Grade 6 pupils of San Francisco Elementary School.
Subjective non-probability sampling, also known as purposive non-random sampling, was used. The
Psychosocial Test was used to determine the level of psychosocial well-being and adjustment among
Grade 6 pupils of San Francisco Elementary School. Mean and five-point Likert Scale were used to
evaluate the level of psychosocial well-being and adjustment. Test of significant difference was used
for the assessment of Grade 6 pupils of San Francisco Elementary School on the level of
psychosocial support before and after the intervention program. Findings showed that utilization of
psychosocial support activity pack had a great impact in developing psychosocial well-being and
adjustment among grade six pupils of San Francisco Elementary School. The result revealed that
there was a significant difference between the psychosocial support prior to and after the intervention
program.
