DESARROLLO DE LÍDERES COMUNITARIAS EN TIEMPOS DE PANDEMIA.

The year 2020 imposed on the world an unprecedented challenge: the Covid-19 pandemic. Physical isolation as an essential measure to stop the spread of the virus interrupts social connections, imposes modifications to people's habits and lifestyles, work and relationships, with the appearance of the consequent states of anxiety and stress generated by said changes. The present work aims to socialize a community experience in coping with covid-19, developed in a rural settlement in the Caimito municipality (Artemisa province) and supported by theoretical and methodological precepts of Action-Participatory Research. The intervention project presented is entitled "From my House" and promotes the development of community leaders for the diagnosis and ad hoc design of actions that, without compromising the health of the community, promote psychosocial well-being. The benefits of the proposal are evident in a community that with scarce material resources but a high psychological sense of community, remains free from contagion and promotes the psychosocial well-being of the cohabitants. The present work seeks to socialize an experience of psychosocial support based on the community, through the development of social actors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
