Chianti, da domani al via il percorso dedicato agli over 65

Residents over 65 in the areas of the Società della Salute zona Fiorentina Sud Est can begin an active aging program starting September 22 at the Misericordia di Mercatale in Mercatale Val di Pesa. The program offers manual workshops, creative writing, self-portraiture, cognitive exercises, theater, music, board games, and daily life advice.

The sessions will take place every Tuesday from 15.30 to 18.30 as part of the Famiglie in Equilibrio project. This initiative is promoted by the Nomos social cooperative and the Società della Salute zona Fiorentina Sud Est alongside Centri Famiglia. Gaia Guidotti, vice president of Nomos, stated that the project promotes local welfare by focusing on the well-being of families and the elderly through prevention, socialization, and specialized clinical support.

This program adds to an existing psychological counseling service for youth, adults, and seniors. That service has been active since early September at the Presidio Il Borghetto in Barberino Tavarnelle and runs every Wednesday from 16 to 19.
