The El Cribo Mental Health Association, after the break due to the coronavirus, recovered this Friday the event that, on the occasion of the arrival of spring, has been celebrating every year under the title of "El Cribo Sings and Recites to Spring".

The event held in the halls of the Sociedad Democracia in Arrecife began with the welcoming words of the president Rosa María González, very encouraged to have recovered this much-needed space and that the patients prepare with such enthusiasm with the collaboration of the specialists and as Rosa María said in her greeting.

Mental health is the balance that must exist in the sociocultural sphere in people and also refers to the general well-being of the way we think. Next, and directed by Professor Arnold Bonilla, the members of the choir "El Cribo Canta" took to the stage, formed by patients, family volunteers performing the following songs: Piel Canela, Viajera and Llamara receiving the applause of the audience present giving way to the "Poetic" section, with the participation of Sary González, Alejandro González and Ana Romero who recited poems by authors such as Nicolás Guillen, Mario Benedetti, Antonio Machado and María Jesús Alvarado.

After that, the performance of the trio "Invictores" took place, formed by Javier, Miguel and Eduardo performing a more rock musical genre and as Miguel, one of the members, said "Invictores", means fighting for health, winning the battle and also helps to alleviate some internal evils.

The event ended with the reading of the manifesto by Alba Romero and Rosa María González called "Feelings of Guilt. Stigma in Mental Health". A simple act that for patients, families and volunteers becomes a breath of fresh air.
