Como parte de nuestro compromiso con la salud mental y el bienestar emocional de la comunidad, realizamos una actividad enfocada en la prevención del suicidio en el CEII Caminitos. Esta iniciativa buscó crear conciencia, reducir el estigma asociado a las problemáticas de salud mental y transmitir un mensaje esperanzador: el suicidio se puede prevenir.
Nuestro objetivo es Sensibilizar sobre la importancia de la prevención del suicidio, Reducir el estigma social en torno a la salud menta, Fomentar la expresión emocional a través de mensajes de aliento y solidaridad, Crear un recurso visual (tablero de notas) que inspire esperanza y conexión entre los participantes.
La actividad se estructuró en tres momentos clave:
1. Charla introductoria sobre prevención del suicidio
Se abordaron mitos y realidades sobre el suicidio.
Se enfatizó que es un problema prevenible y que buscar ayuda es un acto de valentía.
Creación de cartas con mensajes de aliento
2. Los participantes escribieron mensajes dirigidos a personas que puedan estar pasando por una crisis emocional. Algunas frases destacadas:
"Lo que tú sientes importa." "Está bien no estar bien." "Recuperar el sentido y las ganas de vivir es posible."
3. Construcción del "Tablero de Notas de Vida"
Las cartas se colocaron en un mural colectivo, creando un mosaico de esperanza. Este tablero servirá como recordatorio visual de que nadie está solo en su lucha.
Esta actividad no habría sido posible sin el apoyo de nuestros donantes. Su compromiso permite que sigamos implementando actividades que salvan vidas y fortalecen comunidades.
"Cada nota en el tablero es un recordatorio de que juntos podemos prevenir el suicidio."

As part of our commitment to the mental health and emotional well-being of the community, we conducted an activity focused on suicide prevention at CEII Caminitos. This initiative aimed to raise awareness, reduce the stigma associated with mental health challenges, and convey a hopeful message: suicide is preventable.
Our goals were to:
Raise awareness about the importance of suicide prevention.
Reduce the social stigma surrounding mental health.
Foster emotional expression through messages of encouragement and solidarity.
Create a visual resource (a board of notes) to inspire hope and connection among participants.
The activity was structured around three key moments:
Introductory Talk on Suicide Prevention
Myths and facts about suicide were addressed.
Emphasis was placed on it being a preventable problem and that seeking help is an act of courage.
Creation of Encouragement Letters
Participants wrote messages for people who may be going through an emotional crisis. Some highlighted phrases included:
"What you feel matters."
"It's okay not to be okay."
"Regaining meaning and the will to live is possible."
Construction of the "Board of Life Notes"
The letters were placed on a collective mural, creating a mosaic of hope. This board will serve as a visual reminder that no one is alone in their struggle.
This activity would not have been possible without the support of our donors. Your commitment allows us to continue implementing life-saving activities that strengthen communities.
"Every note on the board is a reminder that together we can prevent suicide."
