Es fundamental trabajar juntos para cambiar esta realidad y asegurar que todas las personas, independientemente de su salud mental, puedan acceder y mantener un trabajo digno y sentirse apoyadas y seguras en sus entornos laborales”.
Además, Real dio a conocer que la precariedad laboral también afecta “al movimiento asociativo, a los equipos técnicos y a las personas voluntarias de las juntas directivas que debemos trabajar quitando trabas, gestionando esa precariedad, más allá de nuestros horarios laborales y compromisos familiares y personales. Fijaos cuántas horas invertidas, cuánto trabajo de cuidado remunerado y no, cuánto valor añadimos al bienestar social. Y, aun así, a pesar de esta labor invaluable, en alguna de nuestras 16 asociaciones hay profesionales que no han cobrado su nómina, y deben trabajar con la incertidumbre de qué va a pasar con su sueldo en los próximos meses", denunció.

The march, which began in Moyano slopevisited key points of the city until reaching the Cibeles Squarewhere the president of the Madrid Mental Health Federation, Olga Real Najarro, He intervened and insisted that the “figures reflect a worrying panorama that requires a forceful response from public and private institutions. It is essential to work together to change this reality and ensure that all people, regardless of their mental health, can access and maintain decent work and feel supported and safe in their work environments.”
In addition, Real announced that Job insecurity also affects “the associative movement, to the technical teams and the volunteers on the boards of directors who must work to remove obstacles, managing this precariousness, beyond our work schedules and family and personal commitments. Look at how many hours invested, how much paid and unpaid care work, how much value we add to social well-being. And yet, despite this invaluable work, in some of our 16 associations there are professionals who have not received their payroll, and must work with the uncertainty of what will happen to their salary in the coming months,” he denounced. “We should consider how delays in the resolution of subsidies, or computer errors, among other factors, affect people, at a time when we are talking about humanization,” Real claimed.
