Serving and Living with Emotional Health was the theme of the National Association of Christian Counselors (NACC) of Malaysia that met in Kuala Lumpur last August 18 & 19, 2016. Dr. Jiji taught a 5-session workshop, covering the Emotionally Healthy Leader published in 2015 by Pete Scazzero. She unpacked the themes of the book: Facing Your Shadow, Leading Out of Your Marriage or Singleness, Slowing Down for Loving Union with Christ and Practicing Sabbath Delight. In our globalizing culture, each of these principles has become a countercultural witness to a Christian leadership that stands in contrast to the world's values of leadership. And each of these offer a personal challenge to Christian leaders to implement in their daily lives in the midst of an increasingly frenetic and chaotic world

Dr Jiji's husband Rick also taught one of the workshops entitled Emotional Healing: Breaking the Power of the Past. Much of his workshop came from the Emotionally Healthy Church Course that they teach at Cebu Graduate School of Theology in Mandaue. Rick's workshop utilized various activities to encourage people to consider their past and the impact of their family of origin on their current ways of relating, such as the Genogram, Family 10 Commandments, Life Themes and a Timeline of Loss. These activities can be found in the Emotionally Healthy Skills curriculum and the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Course.
