OLMOS HERRERA, Xochitl Itzel; JARAMILLO CARDONA, Martha Cecilia  and  JAIMES MARTINEZ, Ramiro. Psycho-social Care in Religious Shelters: An Alternative Approach for Mental Health Treatment of Migrants in Tijuana, Mexico. Polít. globalidad. ciudad. [online]. 2023, vol.9, n.18, pp.66-82.  Epub Jan 09, 2025. ISSN 2395-8448.  https://doi.org/10.29105/pgc9.18-4.

The aim of this article is to analyze the psycho-social care programs implemented by religious shelters to address the emotional and mental health of migrants. The theories used were the theories of migratory networks, Embodiment and the pyramid of psychosocial attention. We concluded that virtually any environment could trigger a spiritual experience regardless of the presence of religious acts or rites. Also, there is evidence that some places that can generate spiritual feelings more than others. In this project, we found that the shelter “Embajadores de Jesus” (Ambassadors for Jesus) used the circumstances surrounding the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic to prompt migrants to develop their physical and spiritual health.

Keywords : Psycho-social care; emotions; migration; spiritual health.
