- Syn-Eirmos
SynEirmos NGO of Social Solidarity was founded in 2005 and is active in the fields of social solidarity, social economy, welfare and wellbeing of adults and children. In particular, the organization aims to support the activities of local communities, local governments, cooperation initiatives, collective social actors and volunteers. SynEirmos encourages the social integration/reintegration as well as the improvement of the quality of life of population groups that are subject to/threatened by social exclusion (unemployed, people with disabilities, mentally ill persons, drug addicted people, migrants-refugees-asylum seekers, Roma, women threatened by exclusion because of their sex) as well as the combat against stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination experienced by people belonging in these social categories or groups. They work to achieve sustainable development of areas threatened by spatial exclusion and marginalization (mountainous areas, disadvantaged rural areas, degraded urban areas, areas with sensitive eco-systems). SynEirmos promotes health generally and mental health in particular as well as the social care. For this purpose, since 2008 has established and operates psychosocial rehabilitation units, while at the same time implements projects of psychosocial support and social care.
