Who we are
We are a team with years of experience and extensive skills in accompanying people. Our journey includes creating spaces for listening and welcoming, to develop reparation processes (restorative justice), the creation of healing and therapeutic conversations, knowledge of legal frameworks, familiarity with institutional and ecclesial dynamics, etc.
Among our members there are people who have gone through victimization for sexual abuse and have experiences the programs we propose at eshmá. Our programs are designed therefore, not only from a professional perspective, but also from personal experience.
