Our House of Studies, La Chorrera branch, participated in the Emotional and Mental Health Fair 2026, organized by the Constellations of Panama Foundation together with the San José de Malambo Home, an initiative that for five consecutive years has promoted emotional well-being, comprehensive care and support to communities.

This social project, promoted by the Vice-Rectorate of Extension of the University of Panama, brings together different institutions in a joint effort to bring guidance and support services closer to the population, highlighting the value of inter-institutional cooperation.

The day included cultural presentations, seminars, workshops, psychological support, emotional support sessions, and legal consultations. These activities provided attendees with access to knowledge and services, recognizing the importance of addressing both emotional health and the various needs that influence people's well-being.

The presence of students from different academic areas allowed them to link their professional training with community service, giving them the opportunity to apply their knowledge, strengthen their social awareness, and participate directly in initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life of the population.

In recognition of its participation and support as a sponsoring institution, UMECIT received a certificate of appreciation from the organizers of the fair.

This experience reflects the university's commitment to outreach and social responsibility, through actions that strengthen ties with communities and promote collaborative work between institutions.
