"Strada Facendo" a Series of Group Meetings with Parents of Children and Youths with Disabilities

Psychiatr Danub. 2023 Dec;35(Suppl 3):66-68.

Abstract

The article describes the psychological support offered to parents of disabled children/youths through the structuring of mutual self-help meetings. The therapeutic approach, which is based on the principles of the Family Centered Care (FCC), has an experiential character. These meetings are especially important as they took place after a long period of forced distancing, due to the Covid 19 pandemic. We can see how this type of path fully responds to the needs of these parents and how it can be strategic for strengthening their capacity for resilience in the daily struggle for the quality of life of their children.
