My name is Lucas, I'm 36 years old. I am Italian born in Argentina, so I have two nationalities.
In Buenos Aires I finished my studies of social psychology and I specialised in cognitive stimulation work with older adults.
Especially with patients with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
I worked as a trainee in a centre for the elderly in my home town of San Luis, Argentina when I finished my studies.
Then I moved to Torino, Italy where I fulfilled a contract in a Residence Socio Asistencial (RSA) with more than 90 patients, where I was incorporated in the team in the role of psychotherapist educator.
I developed different work plans and cognitive gymnastics depending on the level of deterioration of the patients.
The activities I develop with older adults range from art therapy, motor skills, memory activities, sensory, sweet body gymnastics, among others.
In addition to the support to the elderly in the tasks of daily life.
I have a special character for dealing with older adults, in addition to being a very responsible person, I know how to listen and accompany.
I have no criminal record, I have a driving licence, I am in good physical health. I have no children and am not married.
I am looking forward to the opportunity to help other people in need of support in old age. At the same time, this activity is for me an important experience of professional growth as a psychotherapist.
