A three-day webinar on the topic “Young people and mental health: a common good”. It is the training event organized by the Di Liegro Foundation, together with Anci Lazio And Observatory for Addiction and sub-threshold mental disorders, and with the contribution of the Lazio Regional Council, to help train administrators, managers and officials of Local Authorities on topics such as social withdrawal, substance addictions, the use and abuse of new technologies. The objective is to impact policies and the organization of prevention and promotion activities for the psychosocial well-being of younger citizens and their families.
The webinar “Young people and mental health: a common good” in fact, it intends to underline the importance of the psychological well-being of citizens, in particular that of young people, especially in this moment linked to the difficulties caused by the pandemic. The Covid-19 emergency has affected not only physical but also mental health, delving into fragilities and difficulties and making many realities even more difficult which, too often, go unnoticed". For this reason it is necessary to think of policies capable of combining the contribution of institutional actors, social services and educational agencies, with that of specific mental health services in a dynamic of complementary value, as underlined when presenting the event Lina Novelli, delegate for Welfare and Social Policies of Anci Lazio.
The Di Liegro Foundation has been working since 2006 with public and private institutions to promote psychosocial well-being, the prevention of mental distress and the dissemination of culture and knowledge of mental health. Over time, the secretary general explained, Luigina Di Liegro, this commitment focused in particular on youth hardship.
Over time, this commitment has focused in particular on youth hardship. Daily experience tells us that substance addictions and pathological behavioral addictions in young people represent a social emergency. Together with the Observatory Association for Addiction and Sub-Threshold Mental Disorders, chaired by the psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Alessandro Vento, the foundation collaborate on a project which, through systematic scanning of the web by software, identifies the presence of New Psychoactive Substances offered for sale on the internet.

Carrying out Civil Service at the Di Liegro Foundation is an opportunity to commit to active citizenship, an opportunity to increase one's wealth of knowledge, which can be used throughout one's working life, while ensuring financial recognition at the same time.
We are looking for young people who love life communication and the relation, whatever they want team up for a concrete project, who are interested inempathy and to theI listen, particularly in the area of psychosocial well-being.
If you have just graduated, if you don't work and you want to dedicate part of your time to your community, the Civil Service at the Di Liegro Foundation offers you a significant educational and training experience.
The Civil Service volunteers at the Di Liegro Foundation will contribute toorganization, to the support and to communication from the training activities aimed at citizens, volunteers and family members, of Telephone listening and orientation service, and to those of the Self-help groups to support families of people with mental and mental health problems socialization and art therapy workshops.
The training of volunteers is oriented in particular to the consideration of the "person with discomfort", as "a person who, at a certain stage of his life, is suffering from a mental problem."
Commitment, values and future are the cornerstones of the Universal Civil Service. Principles which inspire the activities and projects of the Di Liegro Foundation. Our goal is to train aware citizens of their role within the local community, who are bearers of a vision of society based on attention to rights and needs of the most fragile people in the social fabric.
The project of the Di Liegro Foundation is “From loneliness to inclusion” and is part of the ASL RM2 program “We look after the most fragile” (program code PMCSU0011220010007GXXX). Download the program poster.
FROM SOLITUDE TO INCLUSION
PROJECT CODE: PTXSU0011220010025GXXX
The general objective of the project is to promote and implement the activation of resources within the social network of people with mental health problems and their families.
Specific objectives:
THE COLOR OF THE MOON: POSSIBLE CIVILLY INCLUSIVE VISIONS
PROJECT CODE: PTCSU0011220010026GXXX
The general objective of the project is to focus on the rights and well-being of the person experiencing social exclusion and marginalization due to mental health problems. In particular:
WELCOME TO INTEGRATE
PROJECT CODE: PTXSU0011220010024GXXX
The project has the general objective, on the one hand, of contributing to the civic, social, cultural and professional training of young people who will carry out the civil service, and on the other of strengthening the capacity to welcome users, their families and the subjects who they take care of interests, providing personalized answers oriented towards multiple areas.
The project's target audience will be adults in a state of mental distress, with particular attention to patients with severe psychosis residing in the municipalities involved.
WELCOME TO ORIENT AND ORIENTATE TO HEALTH
PROJECT CODE: PTCSU0025320010030GXXX
The general objective of the project is to promote food education and healthy lifestyles in opportunistic contexts, through the acceptance and implementation of communication strategies and the development of functional skills for behavioral change, with reference to a multi-stakeholder approach and multisectoral.
Specific objectives:
THE CULTURE OF LEGALITY
PROJECT CODE: PTCSU0008720010029GXXX
The aim of the project is to promote the culture of legality, aimed at developing civic sense in young people, intended as a basis for affirming an idea of a supportive and cohesive community, which recognizes itself in the rules it has established and which respects them.
The reference target is young people from Ostia (Italians and immigrants) aged between 15 and 29;
The project therefore intends, with activities open to young people, who can transform themselves from users to protagonists of the same, to develop occasions and opportunities for aggregation that facilitate discussion, dialogue and develop the sense of belonging to a community and the active exercise of participatory democracy and assumption of responsibility.
Through the project we want to develop the themes dearest to the Civil Service:
NEW RECEPTION IN SERVICES FOR MINORS
PROJECT CODE: PTXSU0011220010027GXXX
The general objective of the project is to protect the rights of minors to health, improving the quality and accessibility of local services and their usability, to truly pursue the rights of equality, non-discrimination and equal opportunities in developmental age.
The specific objectives to be pursued will be:
BEYOND THE PRISON WALL 5
PROJECT CODE: PTXSU0011220010028GXXX
The direct beneficiaries of the project are all the inmates of the 4 Rebibbia institutions with psychiatric diagnoses or mental insufficiency. These are people who are usually not included in criminal circles, who commit crimes considered "bagatellar", epiphenomenon of a long history of social deprivation, with poor or ineffective use of local services, sometimes not adequately defended in court. Diagnoses can range from psychosis to personality disorders, posing difficulties in social reintegration that are particularly difficult to deal with.

Il XIV corso di formazione della Fondazione Di Liegro "Dall’isolamento alla resilienza" si è concluso con un’ampia panoramica condotta dal dottor Michele Di Nunzio, psichiatra psicoterapeuta e criminologo, sul tema "Il ruolo del volontariato: riflessioni, metodologie, esperienze". Un racconto in prima persona, da un operatore che considera il volontariato un contributo “di fondamentale importanza” nel campo della salute mentale.
Punto di partenza: nell’esperienza del volontario fare del bene agli altri è un effetto secondario, successivo all’azione prioritaria che è quella di fare del bene a se stessi. Io sto facendo qualcosa che, facendomi sentire meglio, accrescendo la qualità della mia vita, mi metterà in condizione di produrre relazioni propositive, costruttive, funzionali anche per l’altro.
La mia serenità è fondamentale. Nei momenti di malumore mi è utile il ricordo, il collegamento con le ragioni che mi hanno condotto a questa scelta.
Il volontario, come chiunque operi in un settore ad alto impatto emotivo come il volontariato e sia per questo molto esposto al logoramento, deve mettere in conto la necessità di fare costantemente la "manutenzione di se stesso", che significa tornare a capire "quello che faccio e perché lo faccio".
Questa azione di consapevolezza ha un nome: meta-cognizione. Si può sviluppare con qualche suggerimento: tenere un diario, leggere molto, ascoltare molto, accogliere ogni occasione ludico-ricreativa che includa una componente emotiva, conoscitiva, razionale, intellettuale. In questo, cinema e teatro sono preziosi.
Può capitare spesso che un volontario della salute mentale incontri persone scontrose, diffidenti, addirittura ostili. L’altro che ci tratta male è qualcuno che ci percepisce come più potente, ha paura di noi e pertanto si difende. Le chiavi per risolvere questo tipo di situazione sono l’umiltà, l’ascolto, la comprensione, l’umana curiosità. Chiavi che sono preziose anche quando l’altro che incontriamo ha scelto di non vivere, di chiudersi in se stesso, come risposta alle paure non risolte che nella stragrande maggioranza dei casi sono all’origine del disagio psichico.
La persona di cui il volontario si prende cura ha necessariamente una ‘diagnosi’, che però non la descrive nella sua interezza. Bisognerà farsi raccontare la sua vita, prima dagli operatori poi da lei stessa, quando vorrà, se vorrà, come vorrà.
Uno dei cimenti maggiori nei quali il volontario può applicarsi è mediare tra le antiche paure tuttora cogenti e la bontà del mondo, che pure esiste. Saranno le piccole cose che rappresentano per tutti il tessuto della vita, alle quali diamo poca importanza ma che riempiono gran parte del nostro tempo, a favorire la riapertura al mondo.
Il volontario è quindi 'ingenuo', fa domande, svela cose che gli operatori nella loro routine hanno perso di vista. La sua ‘sprovvedutezza’ come d’altra parte la diversità del suo bagaglio lavorativo e professionale sono contributi importanti per il settore della salute mentale.
E infine c’è la ‘valorialità’, perché i valori, gli ideali qualificano enormemente la nostra esistenza. Ed è difficile che il volontario sia arrivato a questa scelta senza aver avuto una formazione valoriale.

Even on the subject of addictions, the impact of the pandemic on mental health clearly emerged in the first wave of the virus and has a start date: last March 9th, when the entry into force of the lockdown, the confinement, changed perhaps forever our lifestyle.
The very existence of Covid-19 has triggered a maladjustment syndrome in the general population and even more so in a group of people with pre-existing mental disorders diagnosed in the anxious-depressive spectrum.
In the field of addictions - in which the psychiatrist works Alessandro Vento, speaker of the VI meeting of the training course "Volunteers and families online for mental health" and responsible forAddictions Observatory - consumption patterns have changed. There has been a massive increase in alcohol and prescription drug use, especially by street users of psychoactive substances, which disappeared from the market during the lockdown. At the same time, the adulteration of substances has increased - which consumers have begun to cut with what they have available, with greater damage to health - and the online purchase of psychoactive substances, legal or not.
Also noteworthy is the use of foods with psycho-pharmacological properties (for example spices) used in the pandemic together with alcohol, as compensatory conduct.
There were big differences between the first and second waves of Covid, he confirmed Giuseppe Ducci, director of the Mental Health Department of ASL Roma 1, also a speaker at the VI meeting of the training course. Differences due to the different types of insulation implemented. Psychiatric problems were much greater during the lockdown. In the ASL Roma 1 there have been five suicides, all involving single women.
We must consider that the fundamental elements of mental health are sociality and resilience which is that ability to adapt to circumstances, overcome the stress of adverse events that occur in life, maintaining or restoring balance in a fairly short time.
This pandemic occurs a century after the "Spanish flu", in a totally different world which will still change profoundly due to the emergency we are experiencing, and must be an opportunity to build a different way of operating in mental health too.
We need to move to "a new culture of taking care of the user", based on the strong integration of services, imagine and create flexible working groups made up of different operators with different skills that are set up on a case, a patient, tailored to the characteristics of the person. Groups open to external parties, such as families and entities active in the area. ASL Roma 1 is working on this.

Ci sono due tipi di trauma, Big-T e Small-T.
Come ha spiegato la psicologa e psicoterapeuta Silvia Pepe, nel corso del quinto incontro del corso di formazione "Volunteers and families online for mental health", al primo appartengono eventi di grande portata, anche collettiva, che minacciano l’integrità fisica propria o delle persone care, come abusi, incidenti gravi, disastri naturali. Al secondo, si riferiscono esperienze ed eventi di vita emotivamente stressanti che lasciano segni indelebili sul senso di sicurezza e di fiducia.
La ricerca scientifica ha dimostrato che i due tipi di trauma, seppure molto differenti, dal punto di vista emotivo determinano una reazione pressoché analoga e gli stessi sintomi: disturbi del sonno, difficoltà di concentrazione e di memoria, mancanza di energia, irritabilità, chiusura.
Il COVID-19 è al contempo un trauma Big-T e Small-T, individuale e collettivo. Separa un prima da un dopo: è impensabile immaginare che la vita possa restare la stessa. Non c‘è difesa possibile. Ci sentiamo sovrastati da un evento più grande di noi. Siamo passati da una situazione di potenza a una di impotenza.
In una guerra si conosce il nemico, con il virus il nemico è sconosciuto, per difenderci c’è solo il confinamento, la rinuncia alla socialità, al rapporto fisico con gli altri. La pandemia ha cancellato persino i rituali che accompagnano il lutto e ne attutiscono il dolore.
In questo quadro, più della paura che si può affrontare e vincere, ci assale l’angoscia che viaggia nel mondo dell’ignoto.
Come reagire?
Anche isolati nel lockdown possiamo sperimentare la libertà in modo diverso: con la solidarietà e la connessione con l’altro attraverso strumenti nuovi che ci consentano di superare i limiti imposti a livello individuale e collettivo.
Il trauma porta con sé una “forza misteriosa”. Esistono crescite post traumatiche, pericoli e rotture che diventano opportunità, resilienze. Il gruppo è un potente sistema, bisogna ripartire dalle relazioni. Per combattere contro l’angoscia del futuro restiamo nel “qui e ora”, seguendo regole semplici come mangiare e dormire in modo regolare, parlare con la famiglia e gli amici, fare esercizio fisico e attività che aiutano a rilassarsi, ascoltare musica, leggere. E trovare il modo di aiutare gli altri in una nuova fratellanza.

Resilience and empathy they are concepts that do not originate in the field of mental health but increasingly cross it. Volunteers who engage or intend to engage in supporting people suffering from mental disorders must know and understand them thoroughly.
“Resilience as a mental health tool” is the title of the fourth meeting of ours training course, conducted by the psychiatrist Jose Mannu, long-time collaborator of Don Luigi Di Liegro.
First a bit of history, starting from the last part of the 18th century, when the hypothesis made its way in France and Great Britain that "madness" should always be considered "partial" and as such treatable with a “moral treatment” re-education of the healthy part of the person, accompanied by constrictive and punitive methods.
During the Second World War the theme of “partial madness” is reworked: to fight the sick part you have to ally yourself with the healthy one and you have to do it together, in a therapeutic community different from the mental hospital, conceptually non-constrictive and punitive.
A few decades later, in Italy Franco Basaglia starts from the observation that any place built to cure mental illness becomes chronic, to begin the path that will lead to the closure of mental hospitals, to the opening to the territory and to civil society, to law 180. Territorialization is a radical change that requires a profound cultural change.
In the new millennium the awareness of the importance of the link between the individual and the social context is strengthening. There is no need for dedicated "places", any man lives on relationships. Taking care of a person does not mean "curing" them, but supporting their ability to take care of themselves, helping them to develop their potential – that everyone has – to support its functioning within society. The basis of its resilience.
To get to this you need to first identify the real need, listen, clarify, understand, suspend judgement giving up looking for the causes, maintaining empathy with others within the right limits, avoiding risky thoughts that can appear such as "I don't need anyone, but others need me".
The story of a vulnerable person does not include autonomy because everyone's life is a progressive distribution of dependencies (from parents, teachers, friends, colleagues, emotional ties, etc.). The human being and his brain develop according to the relationships built over time, the more distributed the dependence is, the more autonomous one is. We need to change the way we think. We are not able to restore normality but we can expand it, so that there is space to live with the problem that everyone - without exception - carries with them. This is healing.
“La resilienza come strumento di salute mentale” è il titolo del quarto appuntamento del corso di formazione "Volunteers and families online for mental health", relatore lo psichiatra José Mannu.
La "resilienza" non è un termine che nasce in ambito psichiatrico - ha spiegato Mannu nel corso del suo recente intervento al Màt Modena, Settimana della Salute Mentale - ma proviene dall’ingegneria, e indica la capacità di un materiale di assorbire energia elasticamente, quando sottoposto a un carico o a un urto, prima di giungere a rottura.
Per comprendere l’utilizzo della parola resilienza nell’ambito della salute mentale, è opportuno ripercorrere la storia della psichiatria. Nel ‘700 Philippe Pinel suggerisce che i folli siano considerati persone e che la follia sia solo follia parziale. Il folle ha dunque una parte sana, che deve essere liberata dalla malattia, attraverso il “trattamento morale”. Cioè sviluppare la parte sana attraverso l’educazione, la persuasione e la disciplina dell’individuo. Nascono così i manicomi.
Durante la seconda Guerra Mondiale, Wilfred Bion suggerisce di allearsi con la parte sana per combattere insieme quella malata. Questa alleanza avviene nella comunità, un luogo dove la follia potesse esprimersi liberamente, e non come in manicomio.
Con l'esperimento di comunità realizzato a Gorizia, negli anni ’60 Franco Basaglia sostiene che l'esistenza stessa di un luogo in cui la follia possa esprimersi causa una cronicizzazione della malattia. Per questo, secondo Basaglia, la cura non può avvenire in un luogo, ma nel territorio dove una persona vive. Si tratta di un cambiamento culturale nella psichiatria, una vera rivoluzione.
All’alba degli anni 2000, la Teoria della Capacità impone una nuova visione della “parte sana”, che si esprime attraverso la capacità e il funzionamento della persona. Il benessere individuale nasce dalla relazione. Diventa dunque necessario vedere dove le persone sono in grado di agire, dove “funzionano”, cioè la reale opportunità di intraprendere un'attività e la reale voglia di essere ciò che si vuole essere.
Tornando alla resilienza, possiamo dire che questa esplora i modi in cui gestire una natura (o un tessuto economico/sociale) che non è in equilibrio. Secondo la definizione di Michael Ungar, “Più che un set di caratteristiche individuali, sono le strutture intorno alla persona, i servizi che la persona riceve, il modo in cui è strutturata la sanità, tutti questi si combinano con le caratteristiche della persona che permettono di far fronte alle avversità che affrontano e trovare strade verso la resilienza”.
Solo chi ha la memoria è in grado di vivere nella fragilità del tempo presente. Lo ha spiegato il filosofo Pierangelo Di Vittorio, sabato 24 ottobre, durante il terzo incontro del corso di formazione “Volunteers and families online for mental health”, dal titolo “Le relazioni sociali, un nuovo paradigma”, in un excursus tra arte, letteratura, filosofia e cinema.
C’è un valore d’uso della Storia: il presente deve rileggere costantemente il passato, farlo a pezzi per riattualizzarlo. Il monumento è il grado zero del valore d’uso, non serve alla vita, ha affermato Di Vittorio sulla scorta di Nietzsche. Solo smontando e rimontando il passato può nascere qualcosa di nuovo.
Ma cosa fonda il legame sociale nel corso della Storia? Secondo una certa cultura, l’uomo agisce razionalmente perseguendo il proprio utile, e la coesione sociale nascerebbe dal gioco regolato degli interessi individuali.
E se invece fosse un “trauma”, personale o collettivo, a rendere possibile un legame fra gli uomini? Pensiamo a Edipo che, nel cercare di rispondere alla domanda “da dove vengo? chi sono?”, scopre l’orrore della propria storia. La democrazia ateniese rifletteva su se stessa attraverso le tragedie, ed è forse è sempre intorno a un trauma che una comunità si raccoglie.
Sul tema della “follia” c’è stata, da un lato una caduta di interesse sociale che ha riportato ai margini i malati mentali, mentre dall’altro, nel delirio capitalista in cui siamo presi – secondo Pierangelo Di Vittorio –, la follia è “messa al lavoro”: lo scatenamento pulsionale (droghe, eccessi di ogni genere, violenza) diventa la leva per incrementare la produzione, per produrre ricchezza.
C’è bisogno che la follia torni a risuonare nella società. La società deve riconoscere, non solo che la follia le appartiene, ma anche che svolge un “servizio pubblico”: ritrovando le tracce del legame sociale lacerato e perduto, può offrire la possibilità di un vivere comune più ricco e fecondo.
Come dimostra l’esperienza di Basaglia, tuttavia, per creare un legame sociale bisogna prima riconoscere l’“altro” come un avversario legittimo. Dinanzi agli internati di Gorizia, che contestavano il riformismo della comunità terapeutica, il gesto umanitario di Basaglia ha dovuto farsi politico, prima accogliendo la loro contestazione, poi diventando un loro alleato nella lotta per il superamento del manicomio.
È da questo esempio che si può ricominciare.
La biografia “Franco Basaglia”, di Mario Colucci e Pierangelo Di Vittorio
Before analyzing social relations, it is good to deal with the new paradigm. But how should this “new” be constructed? It is the question from which the philosopher will start Pierangelo Di Vittorio, in the third appointment of the training course “Volunteers and families online for mental health”, scheduled for Saturday 24 October, at the Di Liegro Foundation.
The answer - according to Di Vittorio - is in putting together pieces of the past, in the form of cultural archives, and pieces of the present, that is, diagnoses on the problems and tensions that run through current affairs. A type of mosaic, made up of pieces on which Di Vittorio has been working for some time, collected starting from the question of social relations.
And it is like in a mosaic that the themes of the meeting will be composed, between the philosopher Walter Benjamin and the present which has “the power of the keys over the rooms of the past” and the writer and philosopher Michel Foucault, who has dealt with madness since his doctoral thesis "History of madness in the classical age" and invited us to question ourselves precisely on madness, because "from man to true man, the road passes through the mad man" .
During the meeting we will inevitably talk about Franco Basaglia (with whom Pierangelo Di Vittorio came into indirect contact when after graduating he carried out his civil service at the Mental Health Department of Trieste) and of his decision to undertake the path of invention and caring for the social bond. Read about it in this regard monograph "Franco Basaglia", written with Mario Colucci, released in 2001 and recently re-edited.
“Began in the name of a love for knowledge, in the name of philosophy, Basaglia's experience developed as a loving relationship towards patients, to finally be realized in the construction of another way of living together. A more just and fruitful common life – Di Vittorio wrote in the magazine “Either/Or” in 2017 – for which Italian society and the entire world still bear the responsibility and active hope”.
