Psychosocial interventions, programs and support to promote young caregivers’ well-being
Educational offer in older adult home care for migrant family care assistants
Introduction The increasing number of older people with multiple chronic diseases determines care demand, while the number of formal and informal caregivers is decreasing. In many EU countries, migrant family care assistants (MFCAs) bridge the gap between supply and demand of H24 tailored home care, often without training in older adult care. This study aims to explore older adult care education for (migrant) family care assistants at the Europea…

Specifically, we focused on access to community-based services and adopted solutions to provide support and care du…
The Integration of Psychosocial Care into National Dementia Strategies across Europe
There is evidence supporting the use of psychosocial interventions in dementia care. Due to the role of policy in clinical practice, the present study investigates whether and how the issue of psychosocial care and interventions has been addressed in the national dementia plans and strategies across Europe. A total of 26 national documents were found. They were analyzed by content analysis to identify the main pillars associated with the topic of…
The Focal Play Therapy

Thirty parental couples (N = 60; 30 mothers and 30 fathers) and their children presenting behavioral, evacuation and eating disorders took part to the study. Through a multi-method longitudinal approach, data were collected at two time points (first …
