Anziani e Non Solo is a non-profit organization working since 2004 in the field of social innovation, with a specific focus on management of projects and realization of services and products in the field of welfare and social inclusion.
Among the target groups of the various activities developed by ANS, formal and informal carers hold a relevant position: ANS has developed the first e-learning course for family carers available in Italy (including specific modules on Dementia and Alzheimer diseases) and every year trains approximately 150 carers across Italy. Periodically it also holds classes for informal carers focused on health-related issues.
ANS has also developed a number of research projects, founded by the EC, focusing on carers, such as Care2work addressed to young informal carers aiming at supporting their smooth transition from caring to adulthood and Jobis to prevent burnout among nurses and formal workers, both still running. Other relevant past projects successfully finished can also include: Dalia focusing on working carers, Life After Care on former carers, Care Talents on the validation of carers’ competences, and ToYAC on young carers.
ANS advocacy activities recently led to the approval of a new law in the region of Emilia Romagna regarding recognition of the role of carers.
Finally, ANS runs peer-support groups for carers and organizes, every May, the Carers Days in the Carpi District (in 2012 the event became regional).
