Project
Transforming for Peace
Transforming for Peace seeks to provide emotional support through individual and group services, psychoeducational therapies, empowerment workshops, and art therapy to survivors of gender-based violence. These services aimed to develop skills in assertiveness for emotional management and trauma healing. We take into consideration the diversity of each individual, therefore, we utilize tools such as different learning methods based on multiple intelligence approach and differentiated education. In addition, our methodology is based on the gender perspective and the principles of restorative justice which allows the healing of emotional wounds caused by gender violence and sexual aggression. This project is made possible by the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).

Health Services
We guarantee participants access to quality health services at the appropriate place and time in an environment that is safe. Our main objective is to address the barriers that the health system presents to the most vulnerable populations of Comerío. We coordinate appointments with the different medical plans to verify eligibility, appointments with specialists and generalists taking into consideration the needs of each participant. Also we have a medical support team. We break down the barriers that each participant faces when receiving health services. Among other health access services, we support participants in sending documents, communicating with the provider,arranging transportation, among other health access services.
