Community action (Nahara Project)
A multi-level narrative model for prevention, support, and care in the community
At La Palma Psychology we develop a community action line aimed primarily at municipalities, educational centers and entities that seek to promote projects of emotional well-being, prevention and group support in childhood, adolescence and community.
This work is structured through Proyecto Nahara, our Multilevel Narrative Model, a proposal that allows us to support children, adolescents and their environments from different levels of support, with a common language, real continuity and a preventive, creative and territorial approach.
The model integrates community, group, and individual interventions, adapting the intensity of support to the needs of each context. It’s not just about offering workshops, but about building coherent processes where prevention, emotional regulation, coexistence, identity, and well-being can be addressed in an interconnected way.
Nahara emerged as an island-based response rooted in real-world experience. Its work has included interventions in places like Mazo, La Polvacera, San Andrés y Sauces, Tijarafe, and Fuencaliente, where improvements have been observed in participation, cohesion, coexistence, emotional regulation, and a sense of belonging.
BASE – Prevention
Prevention and emotional reinforcement.
Group space guided by monitors and supervised by the psychologist.
Study habits, attention, coexistence and emotional regulation are developed through play, music and creative writing.
Benefits:
✔️ It improves concentration and social interaction.
✔️ It promotes calmness and self-regulation.
✔️ It strengthens the motivation to learn.
“Learning feels like a possible game again.”
CENTER – Individual Support
Identity, communication and emotions.
When blocks or anxiety appear, this level combines sessions with the psychologist and practices guided by monitors.
Art, music, and storytelling are used to help express, understand, and transform what one feels.
Benefits::
✔️ It improves emotional expression and self-esteem.
✔️ It strengthens communication and empathy.
✔️ It helps to find personal meaning in the process.
“Each story becomes a map to rediscover oneself.”
CÚSPIDE – Individual Attention
Personalized therapeutic space.
For moments of greater emotional intensity or difficulty, we offer individual support from narrative therapy and clinical social psychology.
The goal is to understand, care for, and stabilize before returning to the group environment with new tools.
Benefits:
✔️ It reduces anxiety and emotional distress.
✔️ It improves self-understanding and personal security.
✔️ It strengthens family and school ties.
“It’s not about going up or down levels, it’s about accompanying each story at the pace it needs.”
Support for families
Families are part of the process: they receive guidance, follow-up and resources to support with calm and confidence.
We believe that caring for a young person is also caring for the family history that sustains them.
Prevent today, educate always.
You are a landscape that changes without ceasing to be an island.
