The news of recent weeks tells us how the link between the pandemic and mental health is increasingly close. On the one hand, the COVID-19 emergency has forced healthcare facilities to put, for example, the treatment of certain chronic diseases or mental health services on the back burner. On the other hand, it has increased the isolation of people with mental problems and their families.
The case of Caronia, with the escape of Viviana Parisi, her death and that of little Gioele, testifies in fact how the lockdown triggered the disease and how the failure to accept and take charge of it resulted in tragedy.
Assisting a terminally ill patient in solitude night and day, protecting a mentally ill person without adequate support, dealing with the unpredictable economic consequences of the health crisis, making oneself useful in alleviating the isolation of others, of a family member, of an elderly neighbor, of one's neighbor: they are these are some of the testimonies we have collected in these months of activity.
The 14th edition of the training course "Volunteers online for mental health" was born from the link between pandemic and mental health, organized by the Di Liegro Foundation, which this year has the theme "From isolation to resilience. The role of volunteering".

The pandemic has shaken the foundations of our daily life: health emergency, economic crisis and social problems have determined and exacerbated tensions whose future developments we do not know. Resilience has thus become an indispensable ability to adapt to guarantee quality of life and protect mental health put to the test by these latest events.
Among the "groups" in difficulty and about which little is said is that of volunteering. The pandemic crisis has led to the closure of several third sector organizations and the interruption of their activity risks depriving the community of the services offered so far. Yet, today more than ever, the contribution of volunteers who embody and bear witness to an indispensable value in the reality of their actions is indispensable: the gift.
A society without the culture of giving is destined to ignore the value of man which instead finds exaltation in the civil practice of the spirit of volunteering. Volunteering is one of the noble tools available especially to young people to contribute to the construction of a civil society. Learning to give yourself to others will allow those who tomorrow will be a doctor, a worker, a lawyer to live their experiences with a different, more supportive spirit. This is the value of a gift and it is this wealth that motivates volunteers to make sacrifices with a light heart.
The lessons of the course "From isolation to resilience. The role of volunteering" will be held on Saturday, from 10.30 to 12.30, at the headquarters of the Di Liegro Foundation, in via Ostiense 106, in Rome (Metro B stop Garbatella).
It will be possible to participate both in person, while places are available, and on a digital platform.

Saturday 23 November The third meeting of our usual training course was held. This year's focus is on Lifestyles for well-being in adolescence.
The chairs in a circle. Parents, relatives, psychologists, psychotherapists, students, social workers. The theme is adolescence in the family life cycle. The dialogue starts from a video with i first-person stories of young people who live with discomfort, sometimes with a psychological disorder, the difficult process of transformation that leads to adulthood.
Then the parents - the vast majority are mothers - they talk about their troubled paths, which in several cases begin from their own problematic adolescence, marked by dysfunctional parents. The gray areas that emerge thin out in the group, which listens, understands, condivide, supports, suggests, accompanied by the experts present.
Change your perspective, find the courage to transform your ideas, change your gaze on your children, trust them, stay with them for overcome fear together of living that concerns everyone: adolescents, parents, operators. Because fear is always accompanied by hope, hope that there is still time, that we can succeed.
The next meeting, Saturday 30 November, will have the theme of health through integration. We look forward to seeing you for another moment of personal and collective growth.

Youthful mental health problems are increasingly becoming an important element in modern society. Today, through new means of communication we are beginning to perceive the importance of this phenomenon which was once underestimated.
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), by 2020 more than 20% of developmental age subjects will suffer from some forms of mental disorder. Suicide will be the third leading cause of death in adolescence. At the same time we are witnessing a large increase in behavioral disorders, related to situations such as addiction to psychotropic substances, relationship problems, illnesses and poverty.
One of the most important emergencies of the last decade concerns social networks. This means of communication is increasingly uncontrollable, so much so that it is turning from a children's free time game into a real addiction.
The data shows us that in Italy, in the under 25 age group, the situation is complex. For this reason, the Di Liegro Foundation has decided, in the current edition, to focus on the theme of youth mental distress, bringing prevention to the fore, so that every adolescent can be able to live their existence to the full in order to avoid the onset of acute illnesses and degenerative processes.
The cost of the course is €20 for students, €50 for all other categories
