Health

Health is not only the absence of disease but a broader and more complex dimension that concerns the physical, psychological and social well-being of people. Certainly, orientation to public social and health services (from registration in the national health system and identification of a family doctor, to access to visits or treatments necessary to restore health conditions) are fundamental elements of the path of migrants and refugees in Italy. At  the same time, at CIAC we believe that it is essential to also achieve emotional and social well-being, which is built through a positive relationship with the territory and the community and by expanding the network of significant links both with Italians and with their communities. Health promotion, therefore, takes place not only in the most classic and "dedicated" places and forms but also in places of coexistence, socialization, and community meetings.
