Piazzetta is a component of a larger project by the Italian Red Cross focused on mental health and psychosocial support for individuals who are already receiving assistance through the telephone psychology support hotline. The online service targets individuals aged 65 and above in order to assist them in establishing meaningful relationships to alleviate feelings of loneliness and/or social isolation. In addition, the service also targets people between 18 and 35 years old through psycho-educational activities: the online groups aim to provide participants with tools to better recognize and manage discomfort related to anxiety disorders. Both services are facilitated by professional psychologists and psychotherapists.
