During her reign, she created the emotional intelligence project Vidas Brillantes (Brilliant Lives). This arose from the need for more psychological support, given the increase in cases of depression, suicide, and violent behaviour throughout Latin America and the world. The project aspired to provide emotional education to children, teaching them to work with their emotions by identifying them. The project was taken into a range of preschools to high schools.[21]
In February 2023, Vidas Brillantes, together with the team from the Yuj Vocational Training Institute, was recognized as a training program by UNESCO. Among the Brilliant Lives actions that were endorsed were, neuroyoga in the classroom, and emotional intelligence. These were taught by Daboin who is a clinical psychologist with the support of professionals from the Yuj Vocational Training Institute.[22][23]
