The purpose
Since Covid-19 crisis impacted severely on people’s physical and mental health, we created the project “Digital Art Therapy for Creativity, Self Expression and Psychological Health of Covid-19 patients”, which aims to psychologically support Covid-19 patients and other hospitalized patients.
Remote support during the isolation
A big amount of people is hospitalized or isolated through quarantine, totally isolated in terms of social support, visits by relatives and other important people that could help them. Remote support is complex also for professional psychologist which usually perform the sessions in presence. For this reason we gave life to a project that can be exploited also in isolation, quarantine or hospitalization.
Why?
We promote art-therapy among hospitalized patients with special attention to senior citizens, considering that art-therapy and creativity actions in general are preventive measures against mental deterioration.
Our Goals
Our 3 goals:
- to increase creativity in hospitalized patients with special attention to senior citizens
- to favour the communication, motivation and social support of family members toward senior citizens
- to improve the quality of life of isolated and hospitalized patients through the social support and improving their competences
