Progetto Tenerezza
Psychological support and counseling in Venice
Progetto Tenerezza was launched in 2022 as a service of psychological, spiritual, and emotional support, especially in contexts where fragility manifests itself in different and often silent ways:
In schools, where we accompany children, teenagers, teachers, and parents through paths of emotional education, active listening, and relational growth;
In hospitals, where we offer presence and words in moments of illness, grief, or existential struggle;
In prisons, where solitude becomes tangible, and listening turns into a tool for reconnection and dignity;
In marginalized contexts, where the first need is to be seen, acknowledged, and welcomed.
Progetto Tenerezza aims to be a point of reference for every citizen of Venice who is going through a moment of emotional or psychological difficulty and who, for economic reasons, cannot afford professional support services.
We offer listening, care, and accompaniment to those who often remain outside the “official” paths, but who are no less in need of feeling welcomed. Because fragility knows neither age nor boundaries. And tenderness makes no distinctions.
The Tenderness Room
A place where you can feel welcomed, seen, and heard.
It is located on the first floor of Club Delfino, overlooking the lagoon.
It is always filled with natural light.
A space of listening, intimacy, and pause.
How to access the Room of Tenderness
Who can access it? Anyone between the ages of 5 and 99.
Is it a free service? With a valid justification or motivation, yes. Otherwise, the cost ranges from €50–80/hour, depending on the type of therapy.
What are the available times? Subject to the availability of our psychologists, we can arrange 1-hour sessions:
Monday to Friday between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm
Saturday between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm
It is not just a room. It is a refuge. A possibility. A small haven for those who need to be listened to with care.
