  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), suicide was the fourth
leading cause of death in the world for individuals aged 15 to 29 in 2019.
Given the rapid increase in mental health issues, providing psychological
support is both crucial and urgent. In this paper: (1) we propose S\'olo
Esc\'uchame, the first open-source Spanish emotional assistance chatbot, based
on LLaMA-2-7b-Chat. (2) We introduced the HEAR (Hispanic Emotional
Accompaniment Responses) dataset, compiled from multiple English sources
translated into Spanish, as well as generic data generated using
ChatGPT-3.5-Turbo. Finally, (3) we propose an evaluation metric based on two
semi-automatic assessment methods. Our system outperforms a range of
state-of-the-art models in providing psychological assistance in Spanish. Our
models and datasets are publicly available to facilitate reproducibility.
