Evaluate the strategy restoring bonds of love to prevent and mitigate domestic violence in the family commissioner of Chiquinquira in 2022

Abstract

The reflective article analyzes the impact of the “Restoring Bonds of Love” strategy on beneficiary families in the Chiquinquirá district in 2022. The study was qualitative and based on narratives from three families and two officials involved in the strategy. It focused on categories related to methodology, procedure, implementation, and impact. It was evident that the strategy aimed to prevent and mitigate domestic violence in the municipality. The beneficiary families were exposed to situations of violence in their family environment. A systemic, sociocultural, and psychosocial approach was employed, addressing family, work, and social aspects. The clinical psychologist and the social worker played a fundamental role in managing the families’ emotions. The three beneficiary families learned about the strategy through a report of domestic abuse; before participating in the strategy, there were no signs of affection, and communication at home was poor, with shouting prevailing. However, through the strategy, they learned to express emotions and improved their relationship with their children; an understanding was fostered that everyone in the home experienced different emotions, and they were taught to manage their emotional intelligence. Overall, the strategy helped improve mood and family relationships
