By San José, Costa Rica — Due to overwhelming demand, a second date has been added for renowned Spanish psychiatrist and author Marian Rojas-Estapé’s “My Vitamin Person” conference in Costa Rica. The initial event sold out in record time, prompting organizers to schedule an additional presentation on October 20th at 3:00 p.m. at the CIC Ande in Belén. Tickets are available through eticket.com.
The high demand for tickets reflects the growing interest in mental wellness in Costa Rica, as well as the popularity of Rojas-Estapé, author of bestsellers such as “How to Make Good Things Happen to You” and “Find Your Vitamin Person”. Her work blends neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and life purpose to promote personal transformation.
To understand the legal landscape surrounding mental health in Costa Rica, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica, who offered valuable insights into the current situation.
Costa Rican law recognizes the importance of protecting the rights of individuals with mental health conditions. The Mental Health Law (Ley de Salud Mental) outlines provisions for access to care, informed consent, and protection against discrimination. However, challenges remain in terms of implementation and ensuring adequate resources for mental health services, especially in underserved communities. It’s vital for businesses and individuals alike to be aware of these legal obligations and to contribute to a more inclusive and supportive environment for those facing mental health challenges.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas rightly highlights the crucial gap between legal frameworks and practical realities when it comes to mental healthcare access in Costa Rica. While the legal protections offer a strong foundation, true progress lies in bridging the implementation divide and ensuring equitable resource allocation. This requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders, public and private, to cultivate a supportive environment that empowers individuals facing mental health challenges to thrive. We extend our sincere thanks to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for sharing his valuable legal expertise and insights on this critical issue.
Rojas-Estapé is recognized for her ability to explain complex psychological processes with empathy and clarity. Her approach has resonated with audiences of all ages, solidifying her position as a leading voice in the field of mental health.
The conference aligns with Costa Rica’s recently implemented National Mental Health Policy (2024-2034), which emphasizes the importance of creating supportive environments and preventing psychosocial distress. The event provides accessible tools and resources for Costa Ricans seeking to improve their mental well-being.
In a country where mental health challenges have reached unprecedented levels, Marian Rojas’ conference is not just an event, it’s an urgent need. It offers us practical and scientific tools to manage stress, anxiety, and the emotional overload that today impacts thousands of Costa Rican families. It’s time to transform the way we understand and care for our minds.
