Working mental health / Trabajando la salud mental

Casa sin Fronteras continues to offer mental health services to the community, both face-to-face and virtually.  Counseling and psychological services are offered weekly by appointment to men, women, children and youth. 

We started the Women's Meeting, one in July and one in October.  We took a day to share with an excellent group of women of different ages, experiences of self-knowledge, relaxation and integration, through body movement, art and music.  Creative Therapies help us enter the unconscious and allow us to be happier and more focused.  We will notify the date of the next Women's Meeting in our social media.

To reach those people who cannot physically reach our Center, we held a virtual cycle of Estima Workshops for women.  There were three workshops between the months of August and September to gain more self-knowledge, improve communication and manage stress and anxiety effectively. 

Knowing the needs of mothers and caregivers, we have a series of virtual workshops focused on helping them manage their particular situations, using Dance Movement Therapy strategies.  There are eight one hour meetings, weekly, in which we share tools and self-care strategies.

We are bringing the Dance Movement Therapy, and Music Therapy workshops to schools.  At Garrochales' school, Arecibo, Adriana Lizardi, our music therapist shared with two groups of eighth-grade students.  At Vega Baja elementary school, Hecbel Rodríguez used different Dance Movement Therapy activities with students in two fifth-grade groups.  Both were enriching experiences. Our Professional Counselor, Lariana Garcia held a self-care workshop for teachers at a school in Arecibo.  If you would like to bring our services to your school, whether for students or for teachers, and staff, please contact us to coordinate the event.

This semester we return with a cycle of Music Therapy Workshops for children from 6 to 9 years old.  Our Music Therapist Adriana Lizardi, uses music and instruments to work different techniques that help children improve their behavior, have more concentration and express their emotions and feelings.  Registration is still open.

Follow us on social networks so that you know of our projects, and you can participate.  We thank everyone who contributes financially so that we can continue to serve the community.

Casa sin Fronteras continúa ofreciendo sus servicios de salud mental a la comunidad, tanto de forma presencial, como virtual.  Los servicios sicológicos y de consejería se ofrecen todas las semanas por cita previa a hombres, mujeres, niños y jóvenes. 

Dimos comienzo a los Encuentros de Mujeres, tuvimos uno en julio y otro en octubre.  Sacamos un día para compartir con un excelente grupo de mujeres de diferentes edades, experiencias de autoconocimiento, relajación y de integración, a través del movimiento corporal, el arte y la música.  Las Terapias Creativas nos ayudan a entrar en el inconsciente y nos permiten estar más felices y centradas.  A través de nuestras redes sociales avisaremos cuándo será el próximo Encuentro de Mujeres.

Para tener la oportunidad de alcanzar a aquellas personas que no pueden llegar físicamente a nuestro Centro, realizamos un ciclo de Talleres Estima para mujeres de forma virtual.  Fueron tres talleres entre los meses de agosto y septiembre para tener más autoconocimiento, mejorar la comunicación y manejar el estrés y la ansiedad de forma efectiva. 

Conociendo las necesidades de las madres y encargadas de los niños, estamos ofreciendo una serie de talleres virtuales enfocados ayudarlas a manejar sus situaciones particulares, desde la Danza Movimiento Terapia.  Son ocho encuentros, uno por semana, en los que, por una hora compartimos herramientas y estrategias de autocuidado.

Llevamos los talleres de Danza Movimiento Terapia y Musicoterapia a las escuelas.  En la escuela de Garrochales, Arecibo,  Adriana Lizardi, nuestra Musicoterapeuta compartió con dos grupos de jovencitos de octavo grado.  En la escuela elemental de Vega Baja, Hecbel Rodríguez les llevó diferentes actividades de Danza Movimiento Terapia a los estudiantes de dos grupos de quinto grado.  Ambas experiencias son enriquecedoras para los estudiantes.  Nuestra Consejera Profesional, Lariana García ofreció un taller de autocuidado para los maestros de una escuela en Arecibo.  Si deseas llevar nuestros servicios a tu escuela, ya sea para estudiantes o para maestros y personal, comunícate con nosotros para coordinar el evento.

Este semestre regresamos con un ciclo de Talleres de Musicoterapia para niños de 6 a 9 años.  Nuestra Musicoterapeuta Adriana Lizardi, utiliza la música y los instrumentos para trabajar diferentes técnicas que ayudan a los niños a mejorar su conducta, a tener más concentración y a expresar sus emociones y sentimientos.  Las inscripciones están todavía abiertas.

Sígunos en las redes sociales para que conozcas los proyectos de Casa sin Fronteras y puedas participar.  Agradecemos a todas las personas que contribuyen económicamente para que podamos seguir sirviendo a la comunidad.
