OUR MISSION
Promote the overall mental health well-being of children and adolescents in vulnerable situations within our community.
OUR VISION
With our surf therapy program we aim to combine the fun activity of surfing with the achievement of these 3 basic psychological needs .
The surf therapy program was developed for young people growing up in disadvantaged and underprivileged communities , where opportunities are scarce.
Another of the most important objectives of Olas del Alma Argentina is that participants who complete the program can then become part of the Surf Club , which provides various tools so that they can act as Mentors and therefore be responsible for young people in the future. people and be healthy leaders within the community .
Our activities
Opportunity
Mastering challenging situations and having new experiences are essential to developing a cohesive sense of self. Surfing provides the perfect playground to experiment and practice both. .
Relation
People need to feel a sense of belonging and connection with other people. Surfing has an inclusive nature, allowing for positive social interactions and friendships.
Autonomy
People need to feel in control of their behaviors and goals. This sense of direct action will translate into real change and plays an important role in helping people feel self-determined.
