Psychologists interested in developing volunteer work have the opportunity to enroll in the Pé Quente, Cabeça Cold (PQCF) Program at the Caxangá Institute. 11 vacancies will be offered for professionals with availability of two hours a week, for a period of six months to carry out online service and training course. Applications can be made from June 26th to July 28th, using the electronic form available in the announcement published on the Caxangá website. The target audience is preferably people with less than two years of training in the area. The PQCF program addresses equity and mental health and proposes that psychosocial care can exist in an organic, broad, intersectional and accessible way in the lives of black, indigenous, LGBTQIAPN+ people. In this way, the aim is to promote a space for reception and specialized clinical listening, in order to provide relief for psychological suffering. “The PQCF consists of providing free and online care for people in vulnerable situations, with the support and work of professionals in the areas of: mental health, legal and social guidance. The intention is for the team to act in an intersectional manner with the objective of providing a service that contemplates diversity and acceptance of differences”, says the director of Human Rights Programs, Ericah Azeviche. The director adds that participation in the program also aims to develop mental health care strategies. “So that the volunteers acquire skills, knowledge and experience for a service with an emphasis on the intersectional perspective and on raising awareness to face racism, lgbtphobia, gender violence, and harassment in the work environment, to enhance mental well-being, strengthening the integrity and full intellectual, emotional and, consequently, socioeconomic development of the people assisted by the program”. Each session is free, lasting up to 60 minutes, to be performed online or in person, only in São Paulo – Capital, in the Bela Vista neighborhood. Those interested in going through the psychology sessions should wait for the public call to be held in August this year. Led and founded by black mothers and women, the Caxangá Institute is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to confronting violations in defense of human rights in Brazil, and creating strategies to build a reality of social justice with an emphasis on equity and human dignity, and the active and politicized participation of all people who make up society, regardless of color, race, creed, education level, social class, political party, among others.
