Child and Family Support Centers

Child and Family Support Centers

At SOS Children’s Villages, as part of our care for children and families, we launched the first Child and Family Support Center in 1999 in Kypseli, Athens. Its goal was to support families in crisis and, as far as possible, restore their ability to meet daily needs on their own and provide a safe and nurturing environment for their children.

Today, the network of Child and Family Support Centers has expanded to nine locations across Greece, specifically in Athens, Alexandroupoli, Heraklion, Thessaloniki, Ioannina, Kalamata, Komotini, Patras, and Sapes in Rodopi.
