Psicoeducación para el desarrollo del bienestar emocional en adolescentes de un centro de salud público

Abstract

The present work titled "Psychoeducation for the Development of Emotional Well-being in Adolescents at a Public Health Center" aims to systematize the experience of a psychoeducational intervention focused on strengthening the emotional well-being of adolescents. Through this systematization, the learnings, strategies used, and results obtained during the process are identified. The intervention was developed under a cognitive-behavioral approach, with the purpose of promoting effective skills and strategies for recognizing, controlling, and adequately managing emotions that influence adolescents’ educational, social, and personal contexts. To this end, psychoeducational workshops and talks related to emotional well-being and emotion identification were implemented. The systematization was conducted using a qualitative approach, applying data collection techniques such as documentary review and analysis of materials produced during the experience. The workshops were held in a multipurpose room at the public health center, enabling adolescents to acquire healthy tools for emotional self-regulation and coping with various situations. Some difficulties arose during implementation related to coordination with the responsible staff, causing delays in the execution of the workshops. Nevertheless, this experience highlighted the fundamental importance of implementing psychoeducational programs aimed at developing emotional well-being in adolescents—a topic that is rarely addressed and that, if neglected, may lead to emotional imbalances in this population. In conclusion, the systematization underscores that psychoeducation, supported by the cognitive- behavioral approach, is an effective strategy to improve learning and the development of emotional self-regulation skills in adolescents, contributing to their overall well-being.
