Abstract

Developing a mental health program for children and adolescents is very complex, due to the multiplicity of variables involved and the difficulty in integrating them. There are many sectors of our society that play a decisive role in child development, which complicate the generation of an inclusive and effective dialogue between them towards a common goal, mental health. The article analyzes the application of the ecological model of Urie Bronfenbrenner in the organization of public health and mental health in our country. We propose that through it, it is possible to broaden the view and understanding of the complexity of the mental health phenomenon for children and young people, facilitating the development proposals that incorporate most of the intervening variables and intervention target areas, such as health, education, Sename, justice, among others, and of course the community in general, as relevant actors and social determinants in the health- care-disease process. Key words: Networking, ecological model, child and adolescent mental health, Networking from the ecological approach to Urie Bronfenbrenner.
