We are CoreConnect
A non-profit association providing emotional support for women in vulnerable situations due to loss of connections.
We support processes of rupture, migration, violence, and loss of identity from self-leadership, resilience, and shared humanity.
Who are we?
We work from a human, existential, and community perspective, focusing on the uniqueness of each woman and her ability to rebuild herself with support.
CoreConnect is a feminist and environmental association that provides emotional support to women experiencing situations of vital vulnerability: migration or refuge, breakups with high emotional impact, gender violence, loss of bonds, or identity crises between cultures.
Our purpose
CoreConnect was born from the profound recognition of our uniqueness and the ability to respond together, creatively, to vital changes by practicing shared humanity.
Mission
To support women who need to restructure their life plan, recover references, and build meaning in contexts of loss, emotional or physical loneliness, especially in intercultural situations.
Our values
Creation
That which I offer to the world through what I contribute, my actions, my ideas, my work, my creations, etc.
Experience
That which I receive from the world, the encounters, nature, art, etc.
Attitude
The responses I give to the inevitable and challenging events of life.
Why CoreConnect?
We work to help you discover who you can become, not to revert to who you once were.
We start from the idea that, even in vulnerability, there is a space of inner freedom from which it is possible to resignify the experience and build meaning. From there, we accompany processes of resilience, creativity, and real, not imposed, empowerment.
“If each person modifies their inner conduct and their particular way of living, at the same time that they self-configure, they configure the world in which they live…this means that I do not act solely according to what I am, but that I become what I am with what I do.”
“The person is free to stand before the past with a simply fatalistic attitude or, on the contrary, to learn from it.”
According to Viktor Frankl: From this awareness of freedom and responsibility, it is more likely that we will achieve the longed-for living with meaning and in the meaning and allow us to creatively face vital challenges and empower ourselves.
It must be said that all people in situations of vulnerability, to a greater or lesser degree, are united by:
The demand for change and the creative challenge towards resilience and the search for meaning.
United by the feeling of fear in the face of the unknown.
In the face of this panorama, we can approach the person by recognizing these situations as possibilities and qualifying their experience from the uniqueness of the people, their multidimensionality, and their resilient capacity in the face of extreme situations.
Most people in situations of vulnerability believe that “they have no option.” This situation triggers a degree of frustration and impotence, so a deeper understanding of what it implies to be free before conditioning and for meaning should be provoked.
It is significant to address beliefs, obsolete experiences, traumatic associations, functional fixations, etc., to enhance creativity and live in meaning.
We will work for an existential readjustment that implies striving for resilience, understanding it as: despite adversity, achieving a positive development according to personal goals, resulting in healthy behaviors in the face of adverse situations.
