Social support

We developed our support model based on a collective process of reflection. It is a story where, both verbally and visually, we set out the 10 principles. We use a series of statements to explain each principal that in turn makes up our value system. It needs to be understood simultaneously by your mind, feelings and emotions.

We are individuals who accompany individuals
through processes of mutual bonds,
where we care for others and let others care for us.
We work as a team
with professionalism and
warmth, from the heart.
It’s a journey of mutual accompaniment,
undertaken with an attitude of shared responsibility.
Always influx, centred on improving,
to foster noble life projects,
freely chosenby each individual.
We are part of a community
and we work to ensure it becomes
more inclusive.

Set reachable objectives, assess means accordingly, take responsibility for one’s actions and get involved from a place of mutual recognition.

Social change: Values include dignity, diversity, equal opportunity and cooperation. It involves undertaking advocacy and awareness-generating campaigns; preparing constructive and feasible proposals for action; and using these values to guide our day-to-day.

Community: It provides a sense of belonging, identify and recognition. The neighbourhood is the best example of a community environment. Actively participating in one’s community requires effort and impacts people and society.

Quality of life: A happy life means undertaking an important life project which is based on our values and life expectations. It requires minimum levels of material wellbeing and a satisfactory emotional and relational world.
