Galattica youth network expands support services in Puglia

The Galattica – Rete Giovani Puglia regional network is expanding its support services for young people across the Puglia region through new initiatives in Brindisi and Gravina in Puglia.

In Brindisi, the Spazio DesTEENazione will host an event titled “Scegli chi ti fa star bene” on September 3, 2026. Led by expert Gabriella Gravili, the session aims to help youth recognize healthy relationship dynamics, respect, and consent, while identifying early warning signs of toxic or manipulative behaviors. The participatory format allows for anonymous questions to address personal doubts and experiences.

In Gravina in Puglia, a psychological counseling service is being launched for individuals under 35. This collaboration between Punto GG, the local municipality, and the newly formed association Apnea APS provides a space for emotional and relational guidance. Managed by psychologist Tania Lippolis, the service focuses on prevention and psychological wellbeing, offering an initial point of access to psychotherapy and orientation to combat loneliness and inadequacy among the youth.
