- From Elvira Rodrigues da Silva to Everyone: Comentario: Soy de la Provincia Sudeste de América Latina y, desde mi experiencia en la formación, confirmo que sí, es cierto: este es un tema importantísimo y no es diferente en el contexto de la vida religiosa. A veces percibo que, cuando se trata de ofrecer ayuda profesional a una hermana, las resistencias son enormes; en cambio, en el caso de las jóvenes en formación, la acogida suele ser más fácil. I am from the Southeast Province of Latin America, and from my experience in formation, I can confirm that yes, it is true: this is a very important issue, and it is no different in the context of religious life. Sometimes I perceive that when it comes to offering professional help to a sister, there is enormous resistance; on the other hand, in the case of young women in formation, acceptance is usually easier.

Romper silencios, estigmas, es fundamental. I believe the fact that we are beginning to talk more naturally about these mental health issues will help religious communities, since, just like in society, they are still taboo subjects. Breaking silences and stigmas is essential.

- From jorge mario cardona botero to Everyone: Es necesario el enfoque en la importancia de la convivencia en las Comunidades Religiosas. Me parece que una causa de inestabilidad emocional en las Religiosas puede surgir de la soledad que se puede sentir en medio de una Comunidad.

I believe that one cause of emotional instability in religious women can arise from the loneliness that can be felt within a community.
