Social Health Workshops

Since 2016, we have been collaborating with the voluntary sector and the Health Authority of Florence creating social-therapeutic rehabilitation programs for those enrolled in Addiction Services and in mental health centers. We have also created group and individual workshops for young asylum seekers placed in emergency reception centers and PSASR (Protection System for Asylum Seekers and Refugees).
