Mentoring networks for the specialised care services (SIE) of Catalonia
Tarragona, Vilanova i la Geltrú, Badalona, Sant Feliu de Llobregat
What?
The Specialized Care Services (SIE) are one of the fundamental tools of the public network of the government of Catalonia (“Generalitat”) for the care and recovery of women who suffer sexist violence. They offer women and their sons and daughters comprehensive care and resources in their recovery and repair process; They also focus on prevention, awareness and community involvement.
Until 2024, seventeen SIE have been created throughout Catalonia, and Dones Mentores is already present in the SIE of the cities of Badalona, Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Vilanova i la Geltrú, and Tarragona.
Why?
Dones Mentores works with the multidisciplinary team of each SIE, made up of professionals specialized in sexist violence in psychology, social work, social education, law and job placement. Our objective is to complement the action of these professionals, providing training in mentoring and building networks of mentors who can accompany the women who come to the SIE, either directly or by referral from the territory.
The impact of the Dones Mentores methodology and our community dimension have been recognized in the White Paper on the prevention of sexist violence, approved by the Generalitat of Catalonia on 21 November 2023.
