Terra Mia

What Terra Mia does

Terra Mia Società Cooperativa Sociale Onlus is a non-profit social cooperative founded on December 30, 1987, in Turin, Italy. It operates a comprehensive portfolio of social and healthcare services organized into five specialized areas: Area Dipendenze (addictions), Area Minori (minors), Area Genitorialità (parenting), Area B Produzione Lavoro (work integration), and Area PuntoLuce (territorial services). Across these areas, the cooperative runs 12 services including residential therapeutic communities (Casa Shalom, Via Nizza, San Vito, Maisha), residential and educational communities for minors (Il Mulino Piccolo, Il Mulino Grande, Lo Scoiattolo, Altalena, Il Mulino di Città), mother-child communities (FRIDA, La Base), an eating disorder center, and a social enterprise arm (SocialEdile maintenance services, La Bottega dei Mestieri retail shop). It serves vulnerable populations including adults with substance and behavioral addictions, children and adolescents with psychiatric and psychosocial difficulties, mothers with children and pregnant women in distress, and socially disadvantaged individuals. The cooperative holds ISO 9001 certification and is governed by a Board of Directors and a Scientific Technical Committee.

The cooperative's core technology is service delivery rather than software. Notable components include a multi-disciplinary clinical platform (psychiatrists, psychologists, educators, social workers, nurses, nutritionists) and, as of February 2026, an immersive VR/AR therapy program that recreates real-world environments (bars, liquor stores, clubs) for treating addictions, anxiety, phobias, and psychiatric disorders in a controlled clinical setting. The new TeenVerse clinical center (February 2026) extends services to the developmental age range (10-21 years). Physical infrastructure spans eight operational sites across the Turin metropolitan area, including Grugliasco (headquarters), Marentino, Moncalieri, San Benedetto Belbo, and multiple Turin locations.

Terra Mia generates revenue primarily through institutional public contracts with public entities (ASL Città di Torino, ASL To5, SerD, Tribunale dei Minori, Regione Piemonte, Città di Torino, Comuni and consortia). Secondary revenue streams include individual donations, 5x1000 tax donations (Tax Code: 05442580014), crowdfunding campaigns for specific projects, and a small social enterprise production arm. The cooperative is a founding member of CNCA, holds the presidency of CEAPI, and is a member of Confcooperative Piemonte. It is independently governed with no parent company, no external investors, and no private equity ownership.

Comparable in addiction therapeutic community model and social reintegration approach, but at significantly larger scale and national footprint.
