Who is AIPEP

AIPEP is a non-profit organization (in Italian, Ente del Terzo Settore — ETS) formed by professionals and operators of mental health who work as volunteers. AIPEP, created in 1999, is active in numerous initiatives of information, prevention and assistance for people with psychological problems and in support of the development of psychological culture.

The goal of AIPEP is to carry on, in an increasingly wider link with informative services, activities of support and advising, cultural initiatives and communication projects, with the aim of developing a psychology attentive to the needs of people.

What we consider an important aim of our activities is the development of psychological culture for the comprehension of psychological problems. We know from our experience that each mental suffering needs to be heard, that it has to be connected with the evolutionary project of each person who lives a conflict. Psychological culture, today often unable to find an identity as it faces the strong medical model, has to clearly define its position, which is the comprehension of suffering, in contrast to its denial indicated by the medical and psychopharmacological method.
