Mental health for deaf youth in Colombia

Acknowledgment of Your Generous Contribution

Thanks to your generous contribution and the support from other cooperation resources, we have achieved significant milestones in providing psychological care for youth with hearing disabilities. With your invaluable help, we have been able to offer specialized care to 26 children and young adults aged 10 to 30 years, completing a total of 98 support sessions.

Family Integration and Support Enhancement

Since the start of the service, we have effectively integrated families into the psychological support process. We have identified that difficulties in family dynamics, often caused by communication barriers, have resulted in delays in the youth's development, lack of crucial information, and limited support.

Key Improvements and Advances

Our approach has significantly strengthened family dynamics, achieving advances in:

• Communication: Improved ability of family members to communicate effectively.
• Conflict Resolution: Effective strategies for addressing and resolving family conflicts.
• Parental Competencies: Training and support to enhance parenting skills.
• Social Support Networks: Connecting with resources and support networks to strengthen the youth's environment.

Comprehensive Address of Crucial Topics

Additionally, we have addressed fundamental topics essential for the holistic development of the youth, such as:

• Sexuality
• Decision-Making
• Life Planning
• Academic and Career Focus

These efforts have been crucial in helping each individual achieve their personal goals and objectives, contributing to a more complete and fulfilling development.

Conclusion

Your support has been critical to the success of this project and the positive impact on the lives of these youth and their families. We deeply appreciate your commitment to this cause and look forward to continuing to work together to achieve even more progress in the future.
