Abstract

Introduction: Currently, the incidence of mental health issues among young people has increased, highlighting the need for new and current approaches to address them. This research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of socio-formative strategies in improving the emotional intelligence of vulnerable youth as a protective mechanism against anxiety, depression, and stress. Methodology: This pre-experimental study was conducted on vulnerable youth from Peru (n = 128) who were attended at the Community Mental Health Center. The Socio-Formative Observation Scale (EOSF), the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS) were employed. The Wilcoxon test evaluated the effectiveness of the intervention. Results: Socio-formative strategies demonstrated their effectiveness (p<0.05) in emotional intelligence (p = 0.01), depression (p = 0.00), anxiety (p = 0.01), and stress (p = 0.01). Discussions: The increase in the level of emotional intelligence suggests that socio-formative strategies not only promote emotional knowledge and regulation but also facilitate greater resilience. Conclusions: Socio-formative strategies contribute positively to the field of mental health in vulnerable settings, demonstrating their effectiveness.
