Rufi is not just any dragon, but the dragon who wants to be your child or teenager’s close friend, taking them on a journey of self-discovery. Written in a creative and playful way, the 4 therapeutic stories offer valuable insights into managing anger, depression, anxiety and ADHD.

These stories are designed to help children and their families cope with hospitalization by understanding the emotions behind some symptoms and presenting medical procedures using age-appropriate language. In addition, reading together improves the parent-child relationship.

Developed by specialists, these materials support teenagers with relevant information on six of the most prevalent mental health topics: ADHD, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, specific phobias, anger and frustration management.

We offer a series of interviews with mental health professionals (psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, etc.) to help teenagers, parents and others get familiarized with the mental health topic. This psycho-education project addresses themes of major interest and provides followers with mental health information and tools. Topics covered include self-esteem, body image, stigma associated with mental disorders, etc.

Inocenti psychologists with vast hospital work experience have created a comprehensive resource guide for parents and health professionals who want to enhance their knowledge about effectively guiding children through medical experiences. The handbook includes evidence-based information about what children feel and how they understand different medical situations, along with ways in which these experiences can become an opportunity for learning and building resilience.

This project was created to prevent injury or even death among very young children (0-4 years). To reach the intended long-term outcome for the families in the communities we activate in, our specialists organize information and counseling sessions for parents and caregivers whose children might be at risk of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS).
