mental health in the public system

 hello, dear reader in this blog i will talk about in this blog I am going to talk about the health system in chile. To begin with, my mom works in the public mental health system and she has told me about how difficult it is to do her job with such a small budget. 

There are too few professionals for the amount of patients, that's why people can have only one psychological session in several months and it lasts only 30 minutes. In such a short time and with so few sessions the psychologists cannot do their job, so many times the patients get worse and there is no space to admit them. 

On the other hand, in the private system it is possible to have several sessions per week that last one hour, but the cost is unaffordable for most Chileans. 

The health system is a faithful representation of inequality in Chile, and it is necessary that governments and municipalities invest in public health and its workers to change things.

I am not saying that this type of educational model is bad, but perhaps it is time to modify it and evolve it to the current times, in which children's identity is important.  What I am sure of, is that it is necessary for the educational model to consider c...

my political vision over time

 Hello, in today's blog I will talk about how my political views have changed throughout my life.  In my family there has always been talk about politics, injustice and empathy. That's why it wasn't difficult for me to start forming an opinion when I was a teenager. When I was 13 years old I decided to start informing myself, I learned about the history of Chile and I realized that it was necessary to take a stand on everything that happened in the country, because our history was marked by injustices and abuses of power.  Later I realized that feminism was also a political stance that made sense to me and finally I felt marked by the movement that sought animal liberation. All this, materialized in 2019 when for the first time I was really exposed to police violence and felt anger at the indifference of the authorities towards people who were desperate for solutions.  Currently the most important thing for me is to be consistent with my beliefs and try to be a contr...
