Abstract

This article presents a synthesis of the methodological lessons learned and the process of a community psychosocial intervention carried out by a group of volunteer students from the Universidad Católica Luís Amigó, with a group of 20 elderly women from the Nueva Villa de la Iguaná neighborhood in Medellín, Colombia, over four years (2014 - 2017). The information was collected from the documentary bases of the collective. As a result, lessons learned on the methodological implementation and on the difficulties, limits and lessons learned from the process are presented, which are proposed as references for similar interventions.
