Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health and emotional well- being of people in Cartagena, revealing
and exacerbating various issues that affect the quality of life and daily functioning of individuals and communities. In this
context, the Juan Carlos Marrugo Vega Foundation has recognized the urgent need to implement a comprehensive care model
that addresses the multiple dimensions of mental health and emotional well-being of its users. Comprehensive mental health care
is essential to ensure that individuals receive the support and resources necessary to face the emotional, social, and psychological
challenges that may arise in a post-pandemic environment. The Juan Carlos Marrugo Vega Foundation, with its commitment to
providing care and support to people in vulnerable situations, has identified the need to strengthen its comprehensive care model to
address the emerging needs related to mental health and emotional well-being. Through the implementation of specific strategies
and programs, the foundation aims to create a more inclusive and resilient care space that prioritizes emotional well-being and mental
health. In this regard, the main objective of this project is to analyze and improve the comprehensive care provided by the Juan
Carlos Marrugo Vega Foundation, ensuring that individuals receive the support and resources needed to face the emotional and
psychological challenges that may arise in a post-pandemic context. Through the implementation of a comprehensive care model,
the foundation seeks to promote emotional well-being, mental health, and social inclusion, and to contribute to the development of
a more resilient and supportive community.
