It is structurally organized into three projects: mental health services, psychosocial accompaniment in the sports context and social support to the family. Main strategies are home social support, social support tele-groups, training, narrative method, group device and psychological counseling. It contains the planning of the evaluation and monitoring of the implementation and results.
