Dunna - Mental Health and Psychosocial Care (SMAPS)

  • We promote individual and collective mental health through alternative, cost-efficient, and cost-effective approaches.
  • We create spaces for emotional regulation, aggression management, empathy, and other crucial socio-emotional skills essential for peaceful coexistence.
  • We strengthen mental health through social innovation models based on mind-body strategies and restorative practices
  • We offer self-care and caregiver care programs (teachers, caregivers, and humanitarian workers).
  • We have pioneering biometric measurements in Latin America that demonstrate that our programs have the effect of regulating the participants' autonomic nervous system, generating a statistically significant increase in vagal efficiency.

Dunna - Reconciliation and Peacebuilding

  • We provide life tools that enable our participants to break cycles of violence and achieve reconciliation and coexistence in different contexts (family, educational, community).
  • We implement peace pedagogy strategies seeking to generate a culture of peace in families, schools, and communities.
  • We transform mental models that perpetuate narratives of fragmentation and collective trauma.

Dunna - Girls, Boys, Adolescents, and Youth

  • We contribute to school coexistence and the mental health of students, teachers, and caregivers through a socio-ecological approach.
  • We work with adolescents and young people from the juvenile justice system to provide them with tools for stress management, aggression, and depression associated with the prevention of recidivism.

Nuestro Enfoque

We believe that without individual and collective mental health, the construction of peace is not possible. Global peace begins from within each individual. Mind-body strategies are vital because trauma resides in the body and does not fully heal until it is addressed in its entirety.

Our work approach is trauma-sensitive and recognizes the differences and self-determined needs of each community, co-constructing protocols from the bottom up with the participants. Our programs implement gender and harm reduction approaches. We invest in robust, long-term intervention processes that build capacities in individuals and communities to manage their own well-being.

Mental health is not only individual but also communal and flourishes in recognizing interdependence. Therefore, it is vital to address and heal relationships between individuals, communities, and with nature. By healing collective trauma and relationships with community and territory, we seek to make visible and transform mental models that perpetuate narratives of division in both individual and collective realms.
