Viramundo is completing two years and seven months of providing free psychological assistance to vulnerable women aged 18 and over in Rocinha.
As we know, the COVID-19 pandemic has been especially cruel to women since it began.
Because of it, both domestic violence and household chores became a greater burden.
Locally, there has been an intensification or emergence of anxiety and depression among women.
To date, the psychological assistance offered by Viramundo since 2021 has totaled around 480 sessions.
It’s a modest number, but we have a strong impression that these sessions have had a positive impact on the patients, strengthening their resilience to deal with everyday issues and personal relationships.
