The target population consists of three different groups: a) unaccompanied adolescents and young people seeking international protection in Greece b) children and young people with disabilities living in rehabilitation centres c) their caregivers and “frontline” staff.
The project aims to promote health and provide psychosocial support to the above-mentioned groups during the particularly difficult phase of the Covid-19 pandemic.

More specifically, the project implements: health promotion activities, thematic discussions and workshops to map needs and exchange views on the psychosocial impact of Covid-19 on vulnerable young people, provision of psychosocial support services.
