Project of Healthcare and Wellbeing- An Introduction

The school represents a limited micro-cosmos where the students- in their five year career of study- become aware of ideas, opinions, habits and behaviours that can shape their development, their role and their contribution to social life, when they are adults.  

Therefore, the cooperation between the healthcare world and the educational background represents an important element to enhance the development of actions that stimulate in thr the students attitudes of awareness and prevention on topics concerning healthcare and psychophysical wellbeing.   

The Project “Healthcare and Wellbeing” promoted by Istituto “S. Freud” has the objective to make aware and to give some information to our students about important topics concerning the personal development, such as healthy diet, physical exercise, imentazione sana, movimento fisico, sexuality and sexually-transmitted diseases, prevention and control, negative effects of alcohool, of psychotropic substances and of smoking, other addictions –for example gambling-, safe driving, security in the working and gome environment. 

In addition to this, an information campaign on genetic diseases ( and not only) belongs to this project. Its aim consists in a more conscious and pervasive knowledge of pathologies not always known.

At the same time, the National and International Health Organizations identify the school as an institution that plays an important communicative role  with young people  concerning the information on wellbeing, on healty lifestyles an on correct health behaviours. 

As a matter of fact, young people spend most of their time at school and in particular the years at secondary school must be "supervised" because it is easy that students develop risk behaviours or deviant attitudes. What the school institution sees in its students is only a consequent result of values and familiar behaviours, habits that are rooted in the culture and in the education of its origins.

This triangle (family-student-school), where the young person is at the center of an intersected system of behavioural models and  several thoughts makes possible the development of  major  chances of  “educating to the wellbeing and to the maintenance of a global health condition" and to the practice of correct lifestyles.
