“This project – the doctor clarified in turn Vanda Menon, who is the creator and technical scientific contact and coordinator of this initiative – which includes workshops aimed at the sick-family couple that use therapeutic methods linked to art (music, painting, sculpture, singing and more), also applicable in everyday life to improve the emotional, affective and functional state of the family as a whole, they are highly appreciated for the benefits they bring. Thanks to the support received from the Lions Club Carpi Host we have been able to expand our offer”.
