Genesis

Soy yo literal was created by the Joia Foundation, a member organization of iSocial, with over 40 years of experience in the field of mental health. The foundation runs programs and services that support social inclusion, leisure, and training for individuals at risk of social exclusion due to mental health challenges.

Implementation Level

On October 21, 2023, the first Soy yo literal Fest was held under the theme “Mental Health Without Censorship.” The event took place at Nau Bostik in Barcelona and featured performances by Catalan rapper Santa Salut and a live recording of the podcast Gent de Merda, among other activities.

According to the latest annual data, Joia Foundation has served 2,794 people through its services.
