Argentina promotes mental‑health awareness via pageant champion and San Rafael event

Former Miss Universo Argentina representative Lourdes Sánchez Flores, who represented La Rioja, visited Medios Provincia to discuss the social impact of beauty pageants. She highlighted her mental‑health project "Por amor a ti," which provides psychological support to women, and noted recent recognition by the provincial council.

On 31 July 2024, San Rafael will host the first Forum on Psychiatry and Mental Health, organized by the Instituto Puentes. The event targets professionals and the general public, focusing on suicide prevention, self‑harm, and suicidal ideation. Speakers include local specialists and researchers, and the forum aims to reduce stigma and offer practical tools for dealing with mental‑health challenges in the community.
