During the pandemic, the uncertainty, the economic situation and health vulnerability, increases toxic stress and even violence within families. In Mexico, it has been reported that domestic violence has increased from 30% to 100% in these months.
Therefore, it is very important for us to continue working with our children and their parents even if it is by distance.
Since the contingency began in Mexico, we have modified our operation, always thinking of taking care of the well-being and health of our children and their families. We change our face-to-face sessions for online sessions; we respect the same groups and the same schedules so that families follow their routines as well as possible. For the parents, we are giving more self-regulation and self-care strategies. If they are well, their children will be better. We motivate and guide them to continue creating safe environments within their homes, without interference from stress or violence.
Our relationship with the beneficiaries has been strengthening, technology has allowed us to continue being close to them and communication has been much more frequent and more intimate.
We already want to return to our Center, give a big hug to our children, we miss them very much. But while their health is at risk, we will continue to see them through the screen,
listen to each other in calls or with voice messages and continue to be connected so that our children achieve the development expected for their age.
