This July, Suara Cooperativa made the public presentation of Psicointegra, a new transversal and comprehensive psychological support service to improve the personal, family and social well-being of people, as well as training and support for professionals.
Psicointegra includes specialized therapeutic care aimed at improving the health and quality of life of users and their families. It is a space where the user feels in a context of security and confidence, with a listening support where they can afford to share emotions, experiences, thoughts, concerns, with the support of a specialized professional that allows them to rework, giving meaning and coherence to their inner world.
It also includes a Trauma Therapy service, a specific and specialized therapeutic support for children and adolescents who have been abused. Childhood trauma and the consequent linkage disorders involve an alteration in normative neurobiological development.
The presentation was attended by the Secretary of Children, Adolescents and Youth of the Generalitat, Alexis Serra, accompanied by the Director General of Child and Adolescent Care, Ester Cabanes, and the Director of Territorial Services of Social Rights, Felip Monclús. In his speech, Serra praised Suara's commitment to children and highlighted the preventive action of the service: "Child abuse (and sexual abuse) is a scourge and we must act intensely, from the preventive part and from the repair of the trauma. We have to continue working with perspective of future. "
Suara’s co-director general, Laura Peracaula, for her part, highlighted the work of the Terres de l’Ebre teams, where the initiative was conceived to respond to the need to work on trauma repair. "The project is giving very good results and we have already launched a pilot test to offer online therapy sessions and be able to respond beyond the territory," said Peracaula.
The director of Psicointegra, Natàlia Prades, focused her intervention on the benefits that the resource brings to children, through a new perspective: “We must see the child from empathy, understand why. When they understand each other, everything is easier. We add disciplines to networking: the brave and the brave deserve it. "
