Cuida-te Programme | Psychologist Voucher

The Cuida-te Programme is a mental health promotion measure for young people aged 12 to 35, developed through a partnership between the Portuguese Psychologists' Association (OPP), the Portuguese Institute for Sport and Youth (IPDJ) and the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation, under the Cheque-Psicólogo (Psychologist Voucher) scheme.

The programme gives access to subsidised Clinical Psychology consultations, providing timely, evidence-based psychological support.

The consultations are for adolescents and young adults seeking support with emotional difficulties, developmental challenges, anxiety, low mood, adapting to change, relationship difficulties or other issues that may interfere with their well-being and quality of life.

Support is provided on an individual basis, in line with the guidelines set by the programme and with the ethical and professional standards of the profession.

Our commitment is to provide a safe and confidential space where every young person can be listened to with respect and supported according to their needs.

We believe access to psychological health care should be ever closer, better informed and easier to reach. The Cuida-te Programme is an important opportunity to promote young people's mental health and to make qualified psychological support more accessible.

Every process begins with a careful clinical assessment, making it possible to understand the difficulties presented and to define the goals of the intervention together. Support is always individualised, based on the best available scientific evidence and guided by the ethical principles that govern the practice of Psychology.

More than fulfilling a support measure, we want each young person to find a space where they can better understand what they are going through, develop personal resources and build strategies that support their well-being and quality of life.
