In Peru, mental health remains an underserved issue which needs to be addressed and promoted, and, it is most evident in the situation of political violence, which happened from 1980 to 2000 mainly in rural areas of Peru during the internal conflict. Even though seventeen years have passed since the Commission for Truth and Reconciliation emphasized the need for care and compensation to the victims, the policies implemented in these issues have not yet managed to have the effectiveness and forcefulness needed. This study proposes indicators of mental health change in people affected by such conflict; they were developed alongside the mental health staff in the city of Ayacucho. Highlyexperienced health professionals, who have worked directly with people mentally-affected by the conflict, took part in the study. This study is qualitative, which is why semi-structured interviews and focus groups were applied. A thorough thematic analysis was conducted and this led the indicators to be therefore validated in a participative manner. These indicators were split into three different categories: personal, cultural and community-oriented. The first category contained the ability to recognize emotions and resources on a personal level. The next category focused on the capability to validate mental health common knowledge factors, and, the ability to lead and be productive collaboratively. Finally, the third category included the participation in public areas and promotion in favor of community organization. Thus, these indicators of change should provide a proper follow-up of the case as well as the interventions in mental health of those directly-affected by the internal armed conflict.
