Furthermore, a declining trend of growth is conceivable over time. The authors devised an intervention program comprised of several modalities. Twenty grieving parents who lost a child from traumatic loss in different municipalities in Bataan underwent two treatments (one-time psychoeducation and a posttraumatic growth intervention program). A mixed method was employed to obtain a more detailed and accurate result. The quantitative phase demonstrated that the BUMABANGON Posttraumatic Growth Intervention Program (BPTGIP) helped grieving parents (z = -2.40, p = 0.17) moderately (effect size of 0.54). Five themes developed throughout the qualitative phase: skill acquisition, spiritual growth, interpersonal enhancement, social support, and change perspective. This pilot study provides evidence that further studies to explore the effectiveness of  BPTGIP in a larger and broader scale.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Education, Management and Development Studies}, author={Villazor, Jayvie and De Guzman, Rosalito}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={26–39} }
