Education / Pedagogy / Domestic Violence
Spanish term or phrase: desenvolverse productivamente
Los efectos de la violencia doméstica en la salud mental en las usuarias fue un factor importante en el reporte de las consejeras. La salud mental es un estado en el que la persona utiliza sus capacidades para manejar las presiones de la vida y desenvolverse productivamente, contribuyendo de esta forma a su comunidad. Frecuentemente, de acuerdo a las participantes, las usuarias presentaban situaciones de salud mental relacionadas con una historia de trauma y violencia en su familia de origen, una experiencia reciente de abuso emocional y/o físico y múltiples problemas de relaciones familiares.

Podría ser "play a productive role"?

Gracias de antemano.
