On 20 May 2024, representing the President of the Calabria Order of Psychologists, Armodio Lombardo, Councilor Rocco Chizzoniti met the Vice President of the Calabria Region Giusi Princi in Catanzaro, at the Order’s headquarters, to take stock of the synergistic work carried out and in development: from regional laws on school and basic psychologists to the strengthening of services, with the contribution of the regional council chaired by Governor Occhiuto.
With the presence of colleagues “Ex Equipe Sociopsychopedagogiche”, “PostRems” and “Equipe DSA”, further issues were also addressed and brought to the careful attention of Dr. Princi.
The correct classification of the “Ex Equipe” colleagues was discussed, the extension of the
“PostRems” project and the full involvement of schools in the actions of the “DSA Teams” of the Calabrian ASPs, part of the Learning Together Project with an allocation of 36 million euros.
Furthermore, it was the next departure of the School Psychologist in Calabria thanks to the funds already allocated for new hires, with 9 million euros as communicated by the Calabria Region, the highest figure in Italy, simultaneously deepening the urgent figure of the Basic Psychologist as essential resource through the available resources.
At the end of the meeting, the delegations present wanted to pay homage to Vice President Princi with a personal thought, thanking her for all the commitment she has made so far and her sensitivity towards psychological health, promoting the inclusion of psychologists throughout Calabria through the various concrete actions implemented so far.
Councilor Rocco Chizzoniti joined in the heartfelt thanks for the fruitful collaboration with the Honorable Princi, who reiterated her commitment in every institutional setting to continue working together.
