Lo psicologo dell’emergenza a supporto delle strutture di accoglienza: un vademecum per gli operatori che si occupano dei senza fissa dimora

Abstract

The Covid-19 emergency involved a reorganisation within the local facilities for fragile people, such as the homeless. Both the facilities – which were only de-signed for overnight use – and the operators found themselves reorganising their activities and accommodating people in a completely innovative way. This led to many challenges in daily life, which have been overcome and seen as opportuni-ties for renewal thanks to networking, in which the psychologist volunteers of the “listening service” – mobilised by the Associazione Psicologi per i Popoli - Trentino ODV in agreement with the Protezione Civile di Trento, within the Servizio Politiche Sociali’s project “#Resta a casa, passo io” – have also been involved. This work involved some reflection, which resulted in a vademecum for operators who dealt with the homeless during the lockdown period.
