What are the Day Centers for Psychosocial Support of Workers?
The Day Centres are sectoral services to promote the mental health and well-being of the working population. They are supervised by the Ministry of Health with funding from the Recovery Fund and run by the Pan-Hellenic Union for Psycho-social Rehabilitation and Work Integration (PEPSAEE). The PEPSAEE was established in 1996 to support the social integration of people experiencing psychosocial difficulties.
The Day Centers are implemented within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan Greece 2.0 with funding from the European Union-Next GenerationEU.
The Employee Support Day Centers are a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Health at national and European level.
The primary objective of the Centres is to provide quality mental health services free of charge to workers. Services are provided both on a group and individual level.
The approach is multi-leveled and multifaceted, based on the following axes:
- information and awareness-raising programmes
- support for organisational improvement in the workplace in order to create a safe and supportive working environment
- information and awareness-raising activities, including awareness-raising, information and information campaigns, and the promotion and prevention of workers' mental health
- individual and/or group support (brief psychotherapy, career counselling, prevention of psychiatric disorders, etc.)
The multidisciplinary team of the Support Centres consists of:
- Psychologists
- Social Workers
- Health Visitor
- Career Counsellors

Our Philosophy
1
We believe that all people have the right to work in an environment that promotes the creativity, well-being and mental resilience.
2
We believe that every organization is comprised of its people and the network of relationships between them. Promoting the mental health of workers is actually promoting the mental health of the society.
3
We believe that the health of each individual is the vehicle for the growth and sustainability of the organization where he/she works.
