(ANS – Colima) – Thanks to funding from “Salesian Missions”, the Salesian Mission Office in New Rochelle, USA, the Salesians have been able to support 62 young people in vulnerable situations at the Casa Hogar in Colima, Mexico. The young people at the centre have faced situations of vulnerability due to abandonment, physical and psychological violence, or an unsafe family environment. Some joined the programme after living on the streets. A Salesian working at the centre explained: “One of the most significant outcomes of this period has been the ability to retain the entire interdisciplinary team, meaning the young people have had the same support staff, which has fostered their emotional stability, bonds of trust, and the effectiveness of therapeutic and educational processes.” Having received continuous support, the Salesians noted that these young people experienced a reduction in severe behavioural crises, improved emotional regulation and strengthened bonds with the educational team. As for their education, 85% of the young people maintained or improved their academic performance.
