The social integration (SI) of the Venezuelan population that has been moving through Latin America is complex, in an adverse political, social, labor, economic and recently health context, which exposes them to dynamics of discrimination, exclusion and violation of rights. The aim of this paper is to analyze, from a psychosocial approach, social participation and social support as dimensions of SI of Venezuelan residents in Quito, Ecuador. For this purpose, a survey was applied to 50 participants (25 men and 25 women) that evaluated the problems and the link with the host society, social participation and perceived social support, through group meetings. The results reveal that the Venezuelan population presents several limitations in the SI, especially in labor and economic incorporation, but that it is creating channels at the socio-community level that enable greater links with the local population, while presenting a positive appraisal of expectations prior to the migration process, which is influencing social support. These findings and the need for Latin American states to generate public policies that facilitate the SI of the Venezuelan population are discussed.
