The experience of many years has shown us the therapeutic value of the tools they use creativity and talents, to combat the isolation and loss of self-esteem caused by mental disorder.
The artistic and socialization workshops they are a flagship of the Di Liegro Foundation. Painting, theatre, music, photography, cooking and sewing they bring out resources and potential that everyone possesses, more or less. It is partly individual work which however takes place in a group context. It is "doing and participating", knowing and making yourself known. People referred by the Mental Health Centers of Rome, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers arrive in the laboratories. Participation is on a voluntary basis. They are users who choose to leave an institutionalized context to enter a reality that includes volunteers, family members, operators and which is open to the territory.
For several years, art therapy has been accompanied by a pilot project by the Di Liegro Foundation: la Fast walk. A movement technique that gives psychophysical well-being to anyone who practices it.
