The Observation, Diagnosis and Education Laboratory - ODFLab in Rovereto makes its team of psychologists and psychotherapists available for remote activities.

Four initiatives to help single individuals and families during this isolation period. They were launched days ago by the Observation, Diagnosis and Education Laboratory (ODFLab) of the University of Trento. The Rovereto-based laboratory, attached to the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences, decided to make its staff of psychologists and psychotherapists and its expertise available for a number of specific services: family counselling, psychological counselling for students, and the initiatives "let's play together" and "let me tell you a story" for children. All the initiatives will take place online on different platforms, both in Italian and in English, to reach citizens and the university community. The technical staff of ODFLab is involved in all the activities.
