PROCORE MARMOLEJO (FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 18 TO 29)
PROCORE - MARMOLEJO INITIATIVE
The University of Jaén, in collaboration with the Marmolejo Town Council and the Provincial Council of Jaén, is launching the implementation of the PROCORE PROTOCOL FOR EARLY DETECTION AND INTERVENTION FOR THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE MUNICIPALITY.
The objectives of this initiative are:
- That young people between the ages of 18 and 29 can understand their emotional state and detect cases where there is a risk of developing emotional problems through the PROCORE evaluation.
- If it is detected that the young person is at emotional risk, they are offered the opportunity to participate in the PROCORE PREVENTIVE WORKSHOP, free of charge and online.
The sessions will take place once a week and will last for one hour (in a group format and via live videoconferencing).
Each session will provide training on tools and strategies for managing emotions, thoughts and behaviours in a healthier way. Through a practical, evidence-based approach, the aim is to enable young people to develop skills to cope with challenging everyday situations.
In summary, the implementation of the PROCORE initiative aims to assess and provide psychological strategies to improve the health and emotional well-being of young people.
The implementation of PROCORE in Marmolejo for the first year has been promoted by Manuel Lozano, Mayor of Marmolejo, together with Pilar Lara, Councillor for Governance, Tourism, Promotion and Youth at Marmolejo Town Council, and Antonio Lara, Youth Officer at Marmolejo Town Council, thanks to funding from the Provincial Council of Jaén and the council’s own funds.
In addition, it is promoted by Luis Joaquín García, professor at the University of Jaén (UJA), director of the PROMOBIENESTAR University Chair, Promotion of Health and Emotional Well-being in Adolescents and Young People, as well as head of the HUM-836 Psychological Assessment and Treatment Research Group and the PROEMO network of excellence.
SAGES OF THE INITIATIVE
STAGE 1. CONDUCTING THE PROCORE ASSESSMENT/SURVEY.
The assessment is conducted online. Young people (aged 18 to 29) who wish to participate should access the following link or scan the QR code below:
At this link, participants will complete a series of questions about their emotional state and other aspects that could affect their wellbeing.
The main objective in this phase is to determine whether the young person is emotionally healthy, at moderate or high risk of developing an emotional problem, or whether they may already be experiencing difficulties compatible with a possible emotional problem.
All participants will receive information about their emotional health and well-being free of charge, as this phase serves as an emotional check-up.
STAGE 2. PARTICIPATION IN THE PROCORE PREVENTIVE WORKSHOP
Young people who show signs of risk (moderate or high) will be offered the opportunity to participate in an emotional strengthening workshop, which will enable them to deal with difficult everyday situations in a healthier way and boost their resilience in the face of present and future adversities.
The PROCORE programme consists of eight group sessions lasting approximately one hour (via Google Meet), plus a total of five additional modules tailored to address any risk factors that may be detected. These additional modules will only be offered to those who specifically present the risk factor in question and are aimed at:
- Additional module 1. Healthy lifestyle habits (diet, exercise and sleep).
- Additional module 2. Adjusting expectations and adversity (developing resilience in the face of challenges).
- Additional module 3. Social skills and assertiveness (effective communication and setting boundaries).
- Additional module 4. Discrimination and support (strategies for dealing with situations of exclusion).
- Additional module 5. Social networks and their effect (impact on emotional health and conscious use).
