“Situations of social imbalance, areas of marginalization and urban desolation, represent a permanent threat to peace. The very discomfort of many young people and adolescents, those most affected by social and family disintegration, already constitutes a sort of powder keg that threatens our urban coexistence."
Father Luigi Di Liegro
Work to protect mental health of the Community represents a complex objective which cannot be achieved only with the improvement of social norms, values and practices, but which also requires actions that make known and create participation in the condition of "mental distress" which, out of fear, too frequently results in difficulty to accept.
The training intervention: "SOS Families: new needs and resources in mental health" highlights some of the possible protection actions to be implemented, as emerges from the analysis of family situations, schools and public services dedicated to this topic . The responsibility of contributing to the balanced mental development of the members of a community is entrusted first and foremost to families and parents who with their behaviors support the mental and physical health of their children. It is then necessary for the institutions to place mental health as one of the investment priorities for the implementation of policies that favor the development of an inclusive society, free from discrimination and violence. For its part, the School must be ready to immediately identify the actions to be implemented in the event of assessments of distress among children and adolescents. Last but not least, citizens must be able to contribute through volunteering to the reception and inclusion of the most vulnerable people.

Great participation at yesterday's event at the Pontifical Gregorian University of Rome at the meeting "From the pandemic to war: physical and emotional marginalization. The impact on the territory as told by the media", which saw a succession of prominent figures on the current scene, experts industry and mental health professionals.
The critical issues generated by the years of the pandemic and the difficulties of the economic situation linked to the conflict in Ukraine have brought the issue of mental health and isolation back to the fore, which has especially affected young people. Many topics were addressed and risk factors highlighted at various levels within a multidisciplinary and stimulating discussion for speakers and listeners.
The event was possible thanks to the funding of LazioCrea, Lazio Region, on a public notice dedicated to the Municipalities of Lazio and private bodies for cultural, social and tourism initiatives in the territory of the Lazio Region. LAZIOCrea Spa Annualita 2022 interventions.

"Dalla pandemia alla guerra: emarginazione fisica ed emotiva. L’impatto sul territorio raccontato dai media” 1°dicembre 2022 ore 15.30, Pontificia Università Gregoriana Piazza della Pilotta 4 - Roma
La pandemia prima, la guerra in Ucraina ora. Dalle relazioni sociali alla salute, dallo squilibrio emotivo all’emergenza umanitaria ed economica, continuiamo ad assistendo a una profonda trasformazione della società per come sino ad oggi l’abbiamo conosciuta. Ma non ne riusciamo a definire ancora gli impatti sulle persone, mentre siamo passati da un’emergenza sanitaria a una umanitaria. Eventi drammatici che hanno portato a nuove e pesanti conseguenze sociali, di cui spesso riusciamo solo a intuire i contorni.
Cosa sarà delle decine di migliaia di cittadini ucraini che hanno cercato accoglienza presso i propri parenti in Italia? Qual è lo stato di salute mentale di bambini e adolescenti, appena usciti da due anni di didattica a distanza, di socialità ridotta, di fronte al significato e agli effetti della parola “guerra” e della morte, entrate improvvisamente nel quotidiano di ognuno? Come stiamo reagendo al bombardamento dell’“infodemia”, prima sanitaria e poi bellica, cioè quella quantità eccessiva di informazioni, talvolta non accurate, che rendono difficile orientarsi su un determinato argomento? Quali conseguenze ha avuto l’isolamento del lockdown sugli emarginati e quali l’aumento del costo dei beni di consumo sui nuovi poveri? Quali sono le iniziative politiche da adottare perché nessuno rimanga indietro?
Sono alcune delle domande cui vogliamo rispondere con il convegno al quale parteciperanno, giornalisti, psichiatri e personaggi delle istituzioni: Alessio D’Amato, Assessore alla Sanità e integrazione socio sanitario, Prof. Giuseppe Carlo Ricciardi Università di Pavia, Dott. Alessandro Vento Osservatorio sulle dipendenze e sui disturbi psichici sottosoglia, Prof.ssa Elisa Giomi Associata in Sociologia dei processi culturali e comunicativi -Università degli Studi Roma Tre, Preside Tiziana Sallusti Dirigente Scolastico Liceo Statale Terenzio Mamiani di Roma, Dott. Pierfrancesco Demilito Responsabile Comunicazione Protezione Civile.
Nel corso dell’evento sarà assegnato il “Premio Don Luigi Di Liegro per il giornalismo e la ricerca sociale”.
Il Premio “Premio Don Luigi Di Liegro per il giornalismo e la ricerca sociale” intende dare un riconoscimento a giornalisti, scrittori e ricercatori che abbiano raccontato e descritto il mutamento della realtà sociale. Persone che abbiano manifestato, con le loro opere, il desiderio di fare al meglio il proprio lavoro e, insieme, una carica etica genuina e appassionata, lontana dall’ideologia, ma anche dal cinismo. Persone, che sappiano individuare e descrivere aspetti della realtà poco rappresentati – e in particolar modo i luoghi di confine, le zone d’ombra, le contraddizioni e i margini della realtà sociale, tanto più importante alla luce degli eventi attuali. Una riflessione che può rivelarsi utile soprattutto per le istituzioni che devono rispondere alle esigenze sociali.
Il premio intende riconoscere il lavoro di chi ha come primo interlocutore il lettore, il telespettatore, il radioascoltatore, ovvero quel cittadino che ha un crescente bisogno di democrazia, di servizi, di cultura, di autentica conoscenza dei fatti.

“You are faced with people who have passed
from the ordeal of the mental hospital to the ordeal of those who get lost in the city.
And this brings us back to addressing the related social problems
to every form of marginalization and which are beyond psychiatry".
Father Luigi Di Liegro
The alert regarding psychological support for the most vulnerable people is high. In recent days, alarms have been raised by the main Italian Neuropsychiatry Departments regarding the increase in mental distress in very young people; the Authority for Children and Adolescents in collaboration with the Higher Institute of Health and the Ministry of Education has started a three-year research on the mental health of children and adolescents in the times of Covid-19 19; The United Nations has issued a warning, with the presentation of the report with guidelines on mental health and covid-19, urging member states to boost global actions for mental health. These are just some of the signs that demonstrate how the pandemic, despite ourselves, has shone a spotlight on the mental health of the population like never before.
Alongside those who today, due to the multiple direct and indirect effects of the pandemic, are experiencing psychological difficulties for the first time, there are also people and families for whom the new psycho-socio-economic difficulties have added to those that began well before March 2020. For many people, psychiatric illness can in fact be compared to a reality of poverty: on a personal level due to the loss of autonomy, social relationships and isolation resulting from the stigma that affects the patient and his family; on a social and economic level, due to the difficulty of having their human and citizenship rights recognized, the right to work, to live independently, to a life project in which they feel like protagonists of their own history.
Those who deal with mental health therefore know that the crisis arrived well before in a healthcare sector which, more than others, has been dealing for years with cuts in resources which affect the methods and times of access to services, the number of local structures, the management of psychiatric emergencies, the funds to be dedicated to rehabilitation activities psychosocial.
The National Mental Health Conference represents for all the actors involved in the discussion on mental health, a moment of exchange, assessment, reflection and proposal. And in this last year and a half more than ever, we have asked ourselves, with an attitude that here intends above all to be constructive and generative, whether the main actor in citizens' care pathways, our National Health System, has sufficient forces and resources to welcome and treat the growing wave of mental distress that began during the pandemic and which with reasonable certainty will continue to increase in the following months.
But the real question to ask is: MUST the public body do it alone?
The Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically highlighted that when resources, investments and a far-sighted and local health protection project, widespread throughout the territories, fail, health care becomes difficult, if not impossible. For mental health this is even more true.
We ask ourselves then, What can private social bodies, voluntary associations, user and family associations do to become supporters and guarantors of a model of territorial and community psychiatry?
We believe that third sector organizations can perform a decisive role in tackling problems where they arise, in the territories, combining the contribution of the public body with the other forces of civil society, the actors of informal assistance, in a dynamic of complementary value and which aims at the integration of multiple levels of intervention. This is the model that the Di Liegro Foundation proposes to promote integrated and coherent care systems in the community and in the territory
The Don Luigi Di Liegro Foundation has been operating in the field of mental health for over twenty years, collaborating with public and private institutions in the implementation of projects, activities and research aimed at promoting psychosocial well-being, the prevention of mental distress and the diffusion of culture and knowledge of mental health.
The Foundation's intervention programVolunteers and Families Networking for Mental Health” is divided into several activities. Among the main ones: training courses on mental health aimed at family members and volunteers to be involved in activities to support users inside and outside the services of the Mental Health Departments; family support groups; Information and orientation services for citizens; projects for the prevention and promotion of psychosocial well-being in schools; research activity.
There are many testimonies from users, family members, citizen volunteers and operators that the Foundation has collected over the course of its years of activity. Not least those of research «Care networks and mental distress» carried out in recent years, which collected and compared the experiential knowledge of users, family members and associations with the professional knowledge of operators and managers of local centers and mental health departments of the entire city of Rome, for a total of over a thousand people interviewed.
From the evidence that emerged from our operational work and research work, the points for reflection emerge that the Foundation presents at the table "The role of user associations, family members and volunteers in mental health services" of the 2nd National Conference for Mental Health: “For community mental health”.
THE PRINCIPLE OF HORIZONTAL SUBSIDIARITY SHOULD NOT BE UNDERSTOOD AS DELEGATION BUT AS VIRTUOUS CIRCULARITY in which each subject contributes by bringing their own experience and expertise. The world of volunteering and private social work cannot and does not want to replace the public body. An effective collaboration must be established between them that leads to the creation of a common good. It is where public service works well that volunteering can be a resource of inestimable value.
IMPLEMENT PROJECTS THAT PURSUIT EFFECTIVE SOCIAL HEALTH INTEGRATION TO SUPPORT RECOVERY PATHS MORE EFFECTIVELY. The role of the private social sector is fundamental in performing a hinge function between the public service and the territory, to offer greater opportunities to respond to the needs of work, home and social life. These are the needs that local services struggle most to guarantee.
PRIVILEGED ATTENTION TO THE YOUNG AGE GROUP: PREVENTION, EARLY INTERVENTION AND SERVICES DEDICATED TO CHILDREN, ADOLESCENCE AND YOUNG ADULTS. Collaborate with educational and socialization agencies to promote emotional and prosocial literacy activities with a view to prevention and education for psychological well-being. Using the peer education methodology and making the children the protagonists of the activities carried out with, by and for them. Training of non-healthcare figures, such as youth workers, who live young people in places of natural aggregation and can play the role of facilitators and liaison with services for the most vulnerable children.
TRAIN AND STRENGTHEN THE FIRST LINES OF INTERVENTION: FAMILY DOCTORS, SCHOOL STAFF, FAMILY COUNSELORS UNFORTUNATELY STILL MARGINAL ACTORS IN MENTAL HEALTH. Devices that are easier for people to access and can and should play the role of antennas in the area. Hence the importance of a structured involvement of associations also in health homes, as a tool for intercepting discomfort and connecting citizens with primary and specialist care services.
ACCOMPANY FAMILIES AND USERS IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE DISEASE. Involve family members and users in training activities capable of providing knowledge and operational tools. Consider users and families as bearers of resources as well as needs and enhance their experiential knowledge. Facilitate measures that allow the effective realization of "after us".
INVOLVE CITIZENS. INFORM, TRAIN AND RAISE AWARENESS IN THE COMMUNITY. Returning to the title of this second conference: For community mental health: by community we mean a "set of people united together by social, linguistic and moral relationships [...], by interests". It is only by involving all citizens, all members of the local community, in the discussion on mental health, that the latter can become an interest of the community and the community a place of effective integration and a tool for fighting stigma and discrimination of people with mental distress.

THE PROGRAM
The musical evening will be hosted by Adriana PannitterI, a TG1 journalist who is very sensitive and attentive to the topic of mental health. The direction will be by Franco Pennacchi.
With theater we fight the stigma of mental distress. Our laboratory is a lighthouse against indifference towards a topic too often left in the shadows by the media, politics and economics.
Let's fight to keep open the few places that feel and welcome this emergency. We need your support because we are convinced that restoring well-being to a single person improves the health of the entire community.
We are there Strambo Teatro Company. Some of us are tall, some short, others still young, elderly, stubborn, energetic, calm, greedy, sporty, lovers of the sea, the mountains, art.
Some of us, Then, suffer from psychological distress.
Our home is there Di Liegro Foundation. For more than twenty years he has been giving voice to the invisible. Without ever giving up, he carries out activities, projects, research: all to create that support network for people with mental health problems and their families, so that they are no longer excluded.
Our theater laboratory is one of these. Here we have become a company. Here our differences have become glue, here we have freed ourselves from labels.
Here we are together. Here we are actors.
Every week we meet at the Foundation to sweat, smile, act, create. Together we build the show that we stage at the end of the year, together we get excited, together we are stronger. Theater is good for us and we can no longer do without it. It's our home.
Theater changed our lives. For the better. It was an antidote to isolation, a multiplier of self-esteem, a tool to combat social exclusion caused by the stigma of mental distress. Was a immense and precious facilitator of personal and relational growth.
Here, beyond ours, there are every day art therapy workshops and socialization. There mental health it is their battle and the fight against marginalization is so powerful that they can breathe it. Here, we are a family. And we recognize each other.
This year our theater workshop is unable to start. The Foundation cannot support all the necessary expenses and we cannot help it with our own strength alone.
With your support we will be able to reopen our doors, furnish the rooms with a beautiful scenography, continue working with our director Roberto and go on the stage of a "real" theater at the end of the year!
Even a small donation can help us reach the goal. If you can't donate, maybe you can share the campaign and help spread the message.
Starting from 19 October, the 13th edition of the usual training course "Volunteers and families online for mental health" promoted by the Foundation will be held, entitled: "Lifestyles for well-being in adolescence". Nine meetings aimed at those interested in learning more about mental health volunteering.
In particular, this year's theme focuses onadolescence and lifestyles for well-being. The protagonist will be the network of relationships and the experiences lived by the adolescent; networks which, in addition to being psychological and emotional, are also cultural and social: family, school, peer group.
The meetings will be held at headquarters of the Di Liegro Foundation, in via Ostiense, 106 - Montemartini Central Entrance - The headquarters is easily reachable by public transport: Garbatella line B metro stop.
