Teen Mental Health

Actitud Resiliente | Colombia

Funds were used to provide one year of support for a dedicated mental health professional to lead and oversee counseling services at the resource center. This professional plays a vital role in addressing the emotional and psychological needs of individuals and families who rely on the center, many of whom have experienced trauma, displacement, or chronic stress. By offering one-on-one counseling, group therapy sessions, and mental health education, the counselor helps create a safe, supportive environment where community members can begin to heal, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies. The presence of a qualified mental health professional also allows the center to identify and respond to urgent mental health needs, reduce stigma, and promote long-term well-being within the community.
