The Diocesan Library, managed by the Teresian Association, has become a meeting place for literature and mental health thanks to an agreement with the Mental Health Center in the city of Holguín (Cuba). This space welcomes patients with addictions, anxiety disorders, depression, and other psychiatric conditions, offering them a peaceful environment for reflection and encounter with the written word.
Under the direction of the prestigious writer Belquis Méndez, this literary corner is transformed into a refuge where literature becomes therapy. With a calm and eloquent voice, Méndez guides participants into the mystery of the texts, encouraging introspection and tranquility. Her humanistic approach not only brings patients closer to the beauty of literature, but also gives them tools to face their realities from a transformative perspective.
This project reflects the Teresian Association's commitment to inclusion, education, and the healing power of teaching. Literature, more than an art, stands here as a bridge to emotional and spiritual recovery, demonstrating that words can be balm for the soul. In times of fragility, this space stands as a beacon of hope and personal growth.
