Who We Are
Laia is a Psychology student and passionate about wellbeing and supporting people. She currently works in Human Resources and collaborates on the Cuidándonos project as a program assistant, after experiencing the learning process first‑hand through the methodology. Her interest in emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and the creation of healthy environments has led her to develop a close, empathic, and respectful way of accompanying people. She deeply believes in the power of presence and in the value of sharing spaces where people can feel seen, understood, and supported.

First‑aid psychology for everyone. We dream of a world where understanding and caring for the mind is not a mystery, but shared knowledge that becomes part of “common sense.” Our vision stands on three pillars:
1. Teaching about the mind and how to care for it. We dream that one day mental health will be a basic pillar of school curricula—on the same level as math or language. A future where there is broad agreement about how the mind works and about simple, effective practices that help us navigate daily life with more resilience, inner peace, and hope. Practices that help us untangle most of our inner knots in time, preventing many future complications.
2. A community that holds. We believe community life is important to help us address many emotional and mental difficulties preventively. We dream of a world where close relationships—family, friendships, work, and neighborhood—are richer, stronger, and better able to hold us in everyday challenges. Just as in medicine, we aspire for mutual support combined with practical knowledge to help resolve everyday issues, preventing future complications—reserving professional support for the cases that truly need it.
3. A culture of health and growth. We imagine a future where our cultures are wiser about who we are and about how to lead our inner systems. Cultures that distill small doses of mental health everywhere: in schools, in everyday conversations, in art, in books, in films, in radio programs, and even in ads, songs, or graffiti in the street. A cultural context that points, teaches, and reminds—in a thousand different ways—a shared direction of inner growth, fundamental to everyone’s wellbeing.
Improve everyone’s mental health through practical and accessible teaching. Empower people with skills that help them slow down, look at themselves with curiosity, understand themselves from acceptance, and accompany themselves with kindness. Work so that mental health stops being a taboo or a luxury and becomes a shared priority—with clear, close, applicable resources for families, workplaces, and communities.
