FUDEPI, the Fundación Universitaria para el Desarrollo de la Psicología y la Investigación, was established on July 16, 2014, under the leadership of María Jesús Álava Reyes. This organization is devoted to enhancing the field of psychology through research, education, and outreach, promoting mental wellness in diverse populations. FUDEPI provides a range of services, including psychological assistance for adults and children, as well as online therapy options. Additionally, the foundation offers specialized training programs for psychology graduates, focusing on practical and scientific approaches.

A key initiative is their Scholarship Program, which aims to make psychological care accessible to underprivileged individuals, ensuring that socioeconomic status does not hinder access to mental health services. FUDEPI is also committed to continuous improvement in service quality, adhering to ISO 9001:2015 standards while collaborating with public and private sectors to meet the mental health needs of the community. Through its various programs and platforms, FUDEPI advances the understanding of psychology as a pivotal element in societal development.
