Abstract
VILLA GOMEZ, Juan David et al. Mutual support, affective leadership, and community rehabilitation. An experience of psychosocial accompaniment for the "rehabilitation" of victims of the armed conflict. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.2, pp.427-452. ISSN 1657-8031.
The systematization of an experience of psychosocial accompaniment to victims of the armed conflict in the city of Medellin is introduced. This study allowed to understand and to demonstrate that the strategies for community strengthening, the training of leaders and affective men and women leaders, the peer support, the psychosocial action from the empowerment of communities and their support networks, are necessary actions to generate personal and collective empowerment, emotional recovery, subjective transformations, and experiences of reconstruction of projects of life, the social fabric, and the re-dignification of victims of the armed conflict in Colombia. It is therefore proposed to develop processes of integral repair from the communities rather than to carry out, from above and vertically, projects, usually away from the needs and possibilities of the people.
