This donation was made possible by a $50 million donation from the pharmaceutical company AbbVie to Direct Relief for the rebuilding and strengthening of Puerto Rico\u2019s primary healthcare system in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJuntos sanamos program is consistent with Direct Relief\u2019s mission, as a nonprofit organization, to improve the health and lives of children affected by emergencies or poverty. Growing up can be hard for young individuals from any generation. But, children and teens within our vulnerable communities have faced additional challenges in the past few years as a consequence of the hurricanes, earthquakes and the pandemic which have widened the opportunity and learning gap, and has affected their emotional well-being\u201d, said Olga Ramos Carrasquillo, president of BGCPR.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The funds awarded by Direct Relief will support the hiring of a social worker and art teacher for the Isabela and Bayam\u00f3n Clubs; technical and curriculum assistance from the Traumatology Institute of Puerto Rico, entity that will also train employees, provide therapies, psychological services and will perform an evaluation at the culmination of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of Direct Relief\u2019s great satisfactions has been to support Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico in their mission with our youth. We need healthy young individuals, both mentally and physically, who can join the social transformation that Puerto Rico is facing\u201d, said Ivonne Rodr\u00edguez-Wiewall, executive advisor for Direct Relief in Puerto Rico.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the one-year period, the program will benefit 48 participants between the ages of 10 and 18 years old through workshops to address their emotions through artistic and physical activities, techniques that will help develop their self-esteem, solidarity, coexistence, group cohesion, and to manage anxiety, experiences of violence in the<\/span><\/p>\n

community, traumas, and stigmas. It will also include psychological counseling, case management, individual therapies, and referrals to address particular needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the program\u2019s goals is for young individuals to apply these skills for the rest of their lives and for them to become people that contribute to their community. In Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico we are committed with addressing learning gaps and the socio-emotional well-being of our children, teens and their families; eliminate barriers that hinder success and mitigate generational poverty so they can become leaders, professionals and productive citizens. We are working on a national agenda, and partnerships such as this one with Direct Relief, help us continue our 55-year legacy in Puerto Rico,\u201d highlighted Ramos Carrasquillo.<\/span><\/p>\n
