My name is Alexander Fontanilla-Ballesteros, a clinical and health psychologist. For years I worked in Colombia as a university professor, a scientific researcher, and a public servant at the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF), intervening in processes to protect and restore the rights of children and adolescents affected by Colombia’s armed conflict. I have always believed that psychology is not practiced only through theory but through humanity: through the ability to listen, to walk beside someone, and to turn pain into understanding.
