SU Additional Care

The SU Additional Care project (regional law Dgr. 434/06) offers to persons currently hospitalized in Spinal Unit the opportunity to:

Employ computers and the Internet to keep in touch with their friends and family, play music, watch movies or play.
Have outdoor times to strengthen their ability to move as autonomously as possible, in harmony with the world outside the hospitals. Rediscover the pleasure of spending free time with people they care for.
Favour and strengthen the bility of friends and relatives to offer the right kind of support to hospitalized persons, especially in view of their future outside the institution, allowing also the opportunity of temporary housing support.

This project is experimental and is to end on June, 2007. The innovative services we are working on amount to a "psychological and environmental support" to be integrated with "basic assistance functions."

Skills involved: Sergio Spadi (peer counsellor) Massimiliano Manca (occupational therapist) Giuseppina Castellano (occupational therapist) Federico Occhionero (assistive technology engineer) Michela Battista (social worker) Annamaria Blasetti (psychologist).
