Every child deserves to be happy and mentally healthy
According to UNICEF, in Latin America and the Caribbean, 16 million children and adolescents aged 10 to 19 suffer from mental health issues. According to the World Bank, mental health has long been neglected due to the stigma surrounding it. Yet it is essential for children’s healthy development.
Every year, Casa Alianza cares for hundreds of children who are victims of violence, sexual and commercial exploitation, human trafficking, and unaccompanied migrant children in Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. Psychological support is therefore essential to help them overcome their trauma.
As soon as the children arrive, Casa Alianza’s teams assess their psychological needs and offer them individual or group therapy, as well as various activities. These include workshops designed to build self-esteem and resilience, or to help them better manage their emotions, as well as art therapy and meditation sessions. Doctors also prescribe treatments when necessary.
Today, we are asking for your generosity to continue providing psychological support to these children. Caring for their mental health means supporting them, helping them become resilient, and giving them the chance to look forward to a better future.
