Women who have been diagnosed with infertility and are undergoing medically assisted reproduction (MAR) treatments now have a new resource, the “Parole Fertili: creativity as a resource. Journey into the land of talking masks”, an integrated online drama therapy initiative for 30 women who have undergone MAR. It is absolutely free thanks to the no-strings-attached donation from IBSA Farmaceutici.
The project is the result of the partnership between CDI-NarrAzioni, the integrated drama therapy centre founded by Sandra Pierpaoli, psychologist, psychotherapist and art therapist, DNM, the startup behind PsyDit, a platform for innovative digital psychological support processes, and Rossella Nappi, a professor at the University of Pavia, gynaecologist, endocrinologist, sexologist and fertility centre director.
“We have sponsored this project for five years because it is a new way of talking about fertility and has allowed us to become increasingly closer to people over time,” explained Patrizia Puppi, Corporate Communication & CSR Manager of IBSA Farmaceutici. “We are delighted to contribute to this new integrated drama therapy initiative, as it is another step forward in the long-term and fruitful project on infertility that goes beyond treatment.”
Silvia Misiti, Director of the IBSA Foundation added, “This is perfectly in tune with the Foundation’s strategic project ‘Culture and Health. Alliance for a sustainable future’. In these uncertain and turbulent times, culture and the health humanities remain fundamental opportunities for the deployment of positive resources at the most critical moment.”
