Projects throughout the academic year
All caregivers deserve to be recognized and supported. We need to prepare those who wish or plan to care for a family member. And those who have already been cared for also deserve to be recognized and integrated in order to live a happy life.
We accompany each person in a personalized way, providing services aimed at:
- Information and advice
- Emotional support
- Training
- Short Breaks – rest for the caregiver, promoting increased health and well-being for informal caregivers.
