Supporting Homeless' Mental Health in Buenos Aires

[EN]

As we shared before,  accompanying people who are experiencing social vulnerability requires a broad and complex approach, not less than the problems that afflict them.

Therefore, we built up a team of professionals who complement each other and provide tools from different disciplinary areas.

Mental Health is one of the most important and broadest areas of our approach, as it provides group and individual psychotherapy spaces, in addition to supporting the construction of autonomy through Occupational Therapy.

Well aware of the vital importance of this support, this year we have incorporated more professionals to this area. But it’s still not enough…

We have proven that the processes are more efficient when they are more personalized, and this implies adding more professionals.

That's why we thank you for your continued support and hope to expand our reach!

Nuestro equipo de profesionales crece (pero no lo suficiente)

Como venimos compartiendo, el acompañamiento de personas en situación de vulneración social requiere de un abordaje amplio y complejo, tanto como las problemáticas que aquejan a estas personas.

Así es como hemos ido conformando un equipo de profesionales que se complementan y ponen a disposición herramientas desde distintas áreas disciplinarias.

El área de Salud Mental es una de las más importantes y amplias de nuestra metodología, ya que brinda espacios grupales e individuales de psicoterapia, además de apoyar la construcción de autonomía a través de la Terapia Ocupacional.

Muy conscientes de la importancia vital de estos apoyos, este año hemos incorporado más profesionales a este área. Pero aún no es suficiente!

Hemos comprobado que los procesos de acompañamiento son más eficaces cuando son más personalizados, y esto implica sumar más profesionales.

Por eso, agradecemos que nos sigas apoyando!

As we approach World Mental Health Awareness Day (10/10), at Multipolar we were able to renew the alliance with the Specialization in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy so that psychology professionals can provide individual mental health care to the people who go through our processes. This is something we celebrate!!

But although this is a great step to support access to mental health for people in situations of social vulnerability, there is still a long way to go and many people require not only psychotherapy, but also psychiatric care and monitoring, to be able to advance in the objective of getting ahead by focusing on their desires and work skills. And this is something that requires funds to hire professionals and provide stability in people's treatment.

In the coming months we will put into operation a new physical space in the Buenos Aires Province and this will make it possible for more people to access our Employment Training Center, and it will be necessary to support them to address the mental health problems that they want to treat to be able to move forward.

When we have more news, we will let you know. Meanwhile, as always, thank you for your support, through donations or by disseminating our work so that it reaches more potential donors. Without you, it would be much more difficult.

Thanks for always supporting me!
