  Hidden charm mesons continue playing an essential role as relevant probes to
understand the evolution of partonic matter. It is expected that the charmonia
that survived the quark-gluon plasma phase suffer collisions with other
particles composing the hadronic matter. In this work, we intend to contribute
on this subject by presenting an updated study about the interactions of
$J/\psi$ with surrounding hadronic medium. The meson-meson interactions are
described with a $SU(4)$ effective Lagrangian, and within the framework of
unitarized coupled channel amplitudes projected onto s-wave. The symmetry is
explicitly broken to $SU(3)$ by suppression of the interactions driven by
charmed mesons. We calculate the cross sections for $J/\psi $ scattering by
light pseudoscalar mesons ($\pi, K, \eta$) and vector mesons ($\rho, K^\ast,
\omega$), as well as their inverse processes. Keeping the validity of this
present approach in the low CM energy range, the most relevant channels are
evaluated and a comparison of the findings with existing literature is
performed.
