The trainings are coordinated with different local institutions, such as the municipality, the state health system, and other government programs. Some have made alliances with civil society organizations.
Fifteen facilitators were trained and each one has the challenge of training two groups of 30 parents during these months. Therefore, 900 fathers, mothers and caregivers are expected to be reached by the end of February.
The participants of the workshops that are being developed think that these workshops are very interesting spaces where they remember their childhood, they reflected on how children are at each stage. In addition to learning simple ways of stress management that help in the healthy resolution of conflicts in a positive way for the whole family.
