Awareness in schools to prevent accidents

Through the talks we intend to carry out an intervention at an early stage in key population sectors in our society.
The objectives of this program are to promote good road practices, the use of helmets and protections, as well as promoting inclusion in classrooms, addressing the functional diversity within them.
DACEMUR aims to defend the rights of the group of people affected by Acquired Brain Injury and their families and to overcome the injuries produced by rehabilitating the sequels at a psychic and physical level, offering comprehensive support to both the affected and their environment, in order to improve the quality of life and social integration.
DACEMUR was born from the hand of a group of affected people and their families in 2002. It dynamizes all the available information on DCA at a local, regional and state level, orienting families and affected people in their demands and needs.
In addition, they carry out actions aimed at rehabilitating the sequels produced, as well as programs aimed at the promotion of leisure and free time as well as the prevention of Acquired Brain Damage and its aftermath.
