The design was experimental with group comparison. The total sample consisted of 70 participants with ages between 16 and 29 years. We found significant differences between self-esteem and depression symptoms before and after their participation. Relation was strong and inverse. There were no significant differences between groups probably related to the reduced number of the sample and lack of randomization, among others.
