This article presents the final reflections of the Investigative-Intervention Team in Socially-Critical Psychology after almost three years of participative investigation-intervention with governmental and non-governmental organizations, victims and their families, and other members of communities affected by Colombia's internal armed conflict. The central aim was to value and construct on-going and future processes of accompaniment and reparations. Given the intervening nature of the process, we simultaneously designed and evaluated various ways of jointly defining, framing, and building conversational processes and strategies as well as the encounters between participants. The process was important for the psychosocial teams, whose presence in the country in terms of providing attention to victims is rather recent, as well as for victims and actors from the legal community, who found ways of collaboratively presenting, participating, and defining the available psychosocial-legal needs, opportunities, and resources in order to encourage the processes of accompaniment and reparation. This learning process was critical to the organization of a national meeting of governmental and non-governmental organizations, victims, and academics that widened perspectives on and enriched our understanding of the context in which victims are attended. The process generated a series of reflections that we gather in this article under the heading lineamentos (guidelines) and in which we privilege the experience and understanding developed by team itself.
