Collective psychologists with you
As part of our founding purposes, Inter-Cambio contributed to the foundation of the Collective Psicólogos Contigo (Psychologists with you), which for the first time in the history of Peru brings together 7 psychoanalytic institutions and has the ability to call volunteers, technical teams and put together intervention projects in crisis and emergencies in the community. In 2017, faced with the impact of the Coastal Child phenomenon, Psicólogos contigo developed a set of interventions reaching thousands of children, adolescents, teachers and affected families.
Fulfilled projects:
- Huaycos – MINEDU. During 2018 and 2019, a project was worked hand in hand with MINEDU (Ministry of Education) to address the emotional need and the elaboration of the trauma of teachers and children as a result of the La Niña phenomenon rains. The result was a workbook specially written for the reality of the children and the moment they were living. Teachers were trained so that together with their classrooms they can take advantage of it.
