The Operative Unit for Health Education and Promotion, directed by Dr. Vincenzo Trapani, implements the activity of the pedagogical counseling Help Desk, which has been already started up during the year, within a project aimed at Upper Secondary Schools.
The activity is directed by Dr. Daniela Bocchieri, educational psychologist of the above-mentioned Operative Unit, who manages the relations with the branches of the Authority and with the Institutions of the territory (Social Services of the Municipality of Ragusa, Law Enforcement, ex Regional Province, Provincial Education Department, Provincial Inter-institutional Working Group - G.L.I.P., and Volunteer Organizations).
The “Support Help Desk” is aimed at the students, between the ages of 13 and 20, of different schools of the territory of Ragusa, and at their teachers and relatives.
It deals with family and intergenerational problems, and with those related to sexuality, smoking and alcohol consumption. Moreover, it also deals with relational problems within the classes, especially during the first two years of Upper Secondary Schools; with integration problems between students and teachers and with new typologies of addictions that are not substances-related such as smartphone, Facebook, internet addiction and pathological gambling. All the interventions are aimed at supporting young people in learning and developing life skills, in a perspective of distress prevention.
