Casa Familiar

Escuelas para la Paz program is an initiative aimed at strengthening emotional health and achieving peaceful schools, through the Casa Familiar strategy. This is established as a community center in which the family meets to share their parenting task with other fathers, mothers and caregivers, with specialized professionals and members of the school community. It is a place of peace and tranquility that inspires confidence so that children, young people and their families receive psychosocial services and can tell their story freely.

Services

At Casa Familiar we offer psychological services in individual and/or family modality, alternative therapies such as yoga therapy, art therapy and recreational activities aimed at participants. For families, we offer psychoeducational workshops and support groups to strengthen positive parenting skills in the family nucleus. On the other hand, we have a volunteer program as an alternative to promote peace agendas and offer transformation tools.
