In the framework of the project "Together to prevent the abandonment of vulnerable children in Mexico," funded by the Italian International Adoption Commission (CAI), a parent training workshop was held April 19th in the community of El Espinal , in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. More than 50 mothers, fathers, and grandparents took part of this training that will take place once every month.

The objective of this initiative is to foster a space for reflection and learning that promotes a deep understanding of the dynamics of violence, vulnerability in the family context, providing practical tools to prevent, identify, and address these phenomena, thus strengthening the capacity of parents and caregivers to raise secure and resilient children in a healthy environment.
During the workshop, the topic of positive parenting was addressed, developed through practical activities and dynamics designed to encourage active participation of parents and promote the exchange of experiences and knowledge among participants.

By equipping parents with these skills, the project aims to reduce the risk of child abandonment and build stronger, healthier family bonds.
