Free Departmental Psychologists: A good way to support adolescence

Raquel Tamarit highlighted the importance of this program, which offers free support from psychologists. He has asserted that it is “a more than necessary program after the emotional toll the pandemic has had on our youth. For this reason, we have to support teenage students with resources and that they understand they are essential to our society.”

It is time for society to focus on adolescent mental health. As an educational department, we cannot look the other way. We have to move, which is why we launched Som Essentials, so no teen is left behind. It, in turn, increases the ability of the education system to detect potential risk situations. In addition, spaces are created where adolescents can evaluate themselves and express themselves. Educational professionals also feel accompanied in the process of exposing the harmful behaviors of our students,” Tamarit added.
