The journey to adulthood is often filled with obstacles and challenges. At the Psychological Support Service of the Athens Solidarity Center by SolidarityNow, our specialized psychologists directly engage with the difficulties of this transitional phase, particularly as many of our beneficiaries fall within the age range of 18 to 23 years old.

Within our service, we support a diverse range of individuals, each grappling with their own unique life circumstances, experiences, and challenges. From refugees to survivors of forced marriage, from single-parent households to individuals struggling with identity issues and problematic relationships, our beneficiaries face a multitude of adversities. Often, they present with serious symptoms of anxiety, depression or withdrawal, alongside psychosomatic manifestations, all while navigating a process of self-discovery and self-definition.

In this context, we firmly believe that providing psychological support is paramount for effectively aiding young people during this critical juncture in their lives. However, our commitment extends beyond mere psychological assistance. The Athens Solidarity Center adopts a holistic approach, offering a comprehensive package of services designed to address the multifaceted needs of our beneficiaries.

Whether it’s addressing mental health challenges, tackling financial difficulties, fulfilling family obligations, or pursuing educational aspirations, our goal remains constant: to provide steadfast support and guidance for empowering young individuals as they traverse the intricate path of adulthood.

For us, the journey to adulthood is not merely a transition—it’s a transformation—a journey toward self-awareness and growth. With unwavering dedication, we walk alongside our young beneficiaries, offering solace, encouragement, and steadfast support.
