The presence of people with psychological distress has significant repercussions on family life. The self-help groups of the Foundation were created with the intention of offering support to family members, to break their loneliness and create a network of supportive and supportive relationships.
The groups are entirely managed by family members, who are also the direct facilitators of the meetings.
The group's method is one of sharing, comparison, and recognition in others. An exchange of experiences that helps rediscover personal resources, often hidden or crushed by the difficult confrontation with mental illness.
The groups meet weekly, while once a month, supervision by professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists) is planned to facilitate communication within the group, redefine content emerged in the meetings, and delve into specific themes directly requested by the family members.
