    The self-esteem of adolescents in situations of vulnerability has a direct influence on the risk behaviors that take place in this population. Therefore, it is important to prepare educational institutions in order to create protective resources in this group. The current study aims are to analyze the effectiveness of the Integrative Community Therapy in strengthening the self-esteem of adolescents in vulnerable situations, as well as to identify the levels of self-esteem that this population has. A quasi-experimental study is carried out in order to measure the dependent variable before and after implementing the intervention in a group of vulnerable adolescents between the ages of 13 and 15; the effects of the intervention were measured and analyzed based on the results obtained in the process of prior and subsequent appliance of the Coopersmith self-esteem scale. The results demonstrated that the Integrative Community Therapy was an effective intervention tool which allowed vulnerable adolescents to open a space to talk about their sufferings, experiences and achievements, maintaining a circular communication that promoted the empowerment of their own lives, recovering the capacities, individual and community resources that were diminished, strengthening personal self-esteem and social links. Summing up, the adolescents in vulnerable situations achieved to improve their self-esteem as well as to modify their way of thinking and acting as co-responsible active persons and participating in fixing solutions, establishing resilient attitudes and creating supportive networks of participation between them.
