Funding from partners like KAIZEN FOUNDATION allows us to provide regular actions and services for our community like the MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELLING, created for the Academy by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), around adolescent mental health. We are looking to provide more sessions, supporting the emotional and psychological well-being of our community members. The other action is free legal consultations with a qualified lawyer on any advice related to Greek Law. Regular slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Funding from Growthfund, the National Fund of Greece, has made it possible to introduce parental counselling initiatives focused on mental health, offering essential support to families in parenting and nurturing the development of their children and Academy athletes. This collaboration highlights Growthfund’s broader mission to create long-term value for the Greek economy and society, emphasizing social responsibility through impactful projects. By leveraging sports as a platform for positive change, Growthfund actively supports initiatives that inspire communities and foster a culture of inclusion, featuring the participation of prominent athletes and public figures.
