A large majority of the works in the Spanish province got involved in the celebration of the first Day of Good Treatment and Care through numerous and varied activities and simple gestures, as well as with an extensive digital presence on social networks. Above all, they achieved one of the objectives sought by Secure Environment: to raise awareness among the people who form part of the works, whether users or recipients, workers or volunteers, of the importance of taking good care of ourselves, as a fundamental step in the prevention of abuse.

Children and adolescents

The children and adolescents in the schools celebrated in different ways. Most of them were able to see in their classrooms or common rooms the posters prepared for this day, and received bracelets with this year's motto "Take care of me, Take care of you, Take care of us". In the upper stages, they worked on the didactic proposal "The Cube of Good Treatment", where the students had to help celebrity couples, or couples usually in conflict, to overcome their difficulties through 6 good practices of good treatment: Recognising Potentialities, Empathy, Positive Interactions, Effective Communication, Resolving Conflicts and Analysing Consequences. There were also reflection talks and reading of the manifesto in the playgrounds by students. At the same school, several students shared their reflections on caring for relationships, conflict resolution, respect, tolerance of others and recognition of all the good that others bring to us, as well as appropriate solutions to everyday conflicts. In other schools they carried out activities on expressing emotions and listening in both ESO and infants. The manifesto was also posted on school websites and some schools created special websites for the day. 

Universities

Universities raised awareness in different ways. At Loyola University they organized an activity in which they invited students and staff to think about how to take care of themselves, care for others and take better care of ourselves, and to write it on post-its that they stuck on murals placed for this purpose. At Comillas, the day focused on two actions: the design and distribution of stickers to the entire university community as an awareness-raising action, and the filming and sending of a video with testimonials on mutual care. The University of Deusto joined the 1st March, with several communication actions. The video was shown on the screens on both campuses. A communiqué was sent to staff and students, the content of which was published on the intranet, the student app and the Deusto website. The news was included in the weekly newsletter and wristbands were handed out at Deusto Campus and the Loiola Forum, which was held on the same day with the attendance of 150 people, representatives of the university's student body. The news was also published on social networks.

The pastoral works

The pastoral works disseminated the manifesto and some worked on the materials in catechesis with minors and distributed the bracelets at the Mass for Families, as in the parish of San Francisco de Borja in Madrid.

The social works

As for the social works, most of them disseminated the manifesto and different copies on their websites and networks. Some that work with minors carried out activities with them and some took to the streets to read the manifesto, such as ecca social and ecca edu. They interviewed the coordinator of the Safe Environment System (SES), Susana Pradera, who explained the reason for celebrating this day: "Because we still have a long way to go to live in Safe Environments and because in the midst of so many negative messages, so much lack of hope, so much pain, we need to refocus our gaze". Pradera affirmed that of course it is possible to take good care of ourselves and that "everything will work better if we treat each other well, with respect, justice and acceptance". He invited to take care of oneself first in order to be able to take care of others and spoke of the advances in the implementation of the Secure Environment programme.

This celebration leaves a good taste in our mouths, despite the failures and mistakes, which there were. It is a great first step for future years.
