Psychosocial and Rehabilitation Unit

ANIMA’s first and foremost basic activity is the Psychosocial Rehabilitation Unit "Anima", located in Acharnes which has been operating since May 29, 2006.

The especially designed and equipped area of 650 square meters hosts 15 men and women formerly confined in the Psychiatric Hospital of Attiki "Dromokaiteio" and - at least for the duration of their stay - this place, is their home.

Having recognized that the main problems our unit’s residents face are chronic institutionalization and confinement, and not their "mental illness", we continuously work with them in a daily basis in order to help them regain the lost time and to "relearn how to live."

If you would like to get to know us, you may contact us and ask to be a part of one of our yearly planned social events or become a volunteer with us.
