The president of the association, Ana Trujillo, thanked the Cabildo for their support of the work they do for prevention in mental health. “We want to do work that is inclusive of mental health and that people know how important it is to maintain rest. We are going to do it through the recycling of caps, so that the people who keep those caps know that they are helping people who today they have mental health processes. “
