"There is no health without mental health": this sentence encloses a very important concept, that of health understood not as the absence of disease but as a real one state of physical, social and even psychological well-being. It is no coincidence that it is repeated so often by psychologists!
However, it is not always easy to find information on mental health services in our cities and sometimes it seems even more difficult to find free or free ones accessible: Women, parents, teenagers and students can feel lost without a "manual" to help them choose the right service for them.
Napoli is full of initiatives for the psychological health of its citizens, you just need to know where to look. Let's see together some accessible solutions to take care of your well-being.
Women under and over 18
Services dedicated to the psychological health of women, of all ages, they have suffered gender violence.

Psychological support, job orientation, legal advice and promotion of the psychophysical well-being of women are offered in the area women under and over 18, to help them regain their autonomy and get out of the circle of violence, regaining possession of their lives.

In fact, we speak of Minority Stress precisely to identify these negative experiences and their impact on the mental health of the LGBTQIA + community.
However, they are present consultancy services, counseling and psychological support for the LGBTQIA + community to help members address issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity, abuse within the couple and social integration.
- Arcigay Napoli, Listening and Psychological Support Desk, four free meetings.

University students
Not surprisingly, the University students have very high levels of anxiety and stress: the constant pressure to obtain the desired results, the evaluations given on the basis of a single performance, the confusion and social isolation caused by entering a new world and with new unknown rules where you do not know anyone, are just some of the factors that can harm the mental health of students.
And for this very reason, many Neapolitan universities have established free services for all university students for the psychological support, guidance, inclusion, equal opportunities and academic accompaniment for SLD, SEN, ADHD, autism and / or disability.

I have always thought that our lives were stories in the making and as a professional I feel that I work with the personal and unique narratives of each patient: to be able to return to being the protagonists of their own story. I work in the field of women's health emergency and to promote psychological well-being in the clinical field.
