Guía para el fortalecimiento de la red de salud mental 'Proyecto de vida' de la localidad de Sumapaz

Abstract

This thesis responds to the creative exercise that emerges from the Specialization in Human Development with Emphasis on Affective Processes and Creativity. For this purpose, the research was developed in the locality 20 of Sumapaz, a one hundred percent rural area that is part of Bogota. This work is aimed at adolescents of the territory who are part of the mental health network 'Life Project' led by health professionals who are part of the Subred Integrada de Servicios de Salud E.S.E. (Integrated Health Services Sub-Network). Based on the needs identified in the adolescent population of this area, it became essential to generate a contribution to strengthen the network. Therefore, a playful pedagogical guide was created to strengthen and establish the adolescents' life project. This guide also contributes to the empowerment of the target population for the development of their goals and future projections, generating alternatives to address the needs that arise within the territory. As a first activity, the mental health network 'Life Project' was taken up again and an exercise was developed to ratify the needs identified within the adolescent population, pointing out problems such as alcohol consumption at an early age, school dropout, teenage pregnancy, migration from the locality to urban Bogotá and inadequate decision making. Based on this, the Guide was generated, which contributes to the empowerment of adolescents for the establishment of their life project.
