Living well with fragility in different life contexts

“Ripartire da qui” is the title of two days of study dedicated to the theme of new forms of fragility in various contexts and stages of life that require more flexible models of observation and intervention, where the knowledge and tools of psychology can innovate in dialogue with the resources of the community. Organised to respond to this need for innovation, the meetings, which will be held at the Department of Psychology of the University of Bologna, on Friday, 8 March in Bologna (Viale Berti Pichat, 5 - Aula Magna) and Friday, 15 March in Cesena (Piazza Sanguinetti, 180 - Aula Magna), aim to create a bridge between the research lines of the Excellence Project, the clinical experiences of the Psychological Services of the Department of Psychology, and the ongoing collaborations with the community.

The initiative, made possible by the Third Mission call promoted by the University, aims at promoting and enhancing the activities of the Departments related to the Third Mission, aims to present to students, faculty, professionals in the community, and the public the opportunities provided for the community through the research activities promoted by the Department of Psychology of the University, with a focus on the themes of human fragility and strategies for supporting psychological well-being.

The events will highlight the distinctive aspects of the clinical services provided by the Department, along with the collaborative projects involving local entities. Representatives from these entities will join the Panel Discussions in both Bologna and Cesena. The clinical services offered by the Department are tailored to individuals of all ages, from infancy through adulthood. They serve as concrete demonstrations of how theoretical and methodological advancements from research can be seamlessly integrated into assessment, diagnosis, and treatment procedures.

Two pre- and post-graduate students will be awarded prizes for their multimedia and informative videos on the topic.
