SECRETARY DEPARTMENT
Αρχικά πραγματοποιείται μια συνάντηση των γονέων με την κοινωνική λειτουργό, όπου καταγράφεται το κοινωνικό ιστορικό (πορεία της ανάπτυξης του παιδιου) καθώς και το αίτημα για θεραπεία του παιδιού. Κατά την ολοκλήρωση του πρώτου ραντεβού οι γονείς κατευθύνονται από την κοινωνική υπηρεσία για την πορεία των επόμενων θεραπειών. Η κοινωνική υπηρεσία είναι στην διάθεση των γονέων για κάθε πιθανή ενημέρωση ή καθοδήγηση σχετικά με άλλους φορείς ή κοινωνικές υπηρεσίες (ΚΕΣΥ, ΚΕΠΑ, Κέντρο Ψυχικής Υγείας κ.α.)
Για τον ΕΟΠΠΥ: Μπορείτε να δικαιολογήσετε τις θεραπείες σας μέσω ΕΟΠΠΥ, εφόσον επισκεφτείτε κάποιον ιδιώτη ή νοσοκομειακό παιδοψυχίατρο, παιδονευρολόγο , αναπτυξιολόγο. Η ειδικότητα του γιατρού καθορίζεται από την πάθηση του θεραπευόμενου. O γιατρός σας γράφει τις θεραπείες που αντιστοιχούν στην πάθηση και μπορεί να σας επιστραφεί ένα μέρος των χρημάτων. Πληρώνετε στο θεραπευτήριο και σας δίνεται απόδειξη για να κάνετε εσείς την δαπάνη.

PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT
At times, issues that concern either our personal relationships or our business, such as day-to-day adversity, make it difficult for us to progress both on a personal and team level. We may not properly manage the stress or tension we experience, but we may not know where they come from. Psychological support and individual counseling allow us to focus on the source of the problem so that we can more effectively address our concerns and concerns. Reasons for addressing a health professional are: Emotional disorders Social difficulties Lack of self-confidence Difficulties in interpersonal relationships

Depending on the purpose of the conferences, the frequency is also determined. This process explores the subject of concern for the individual, where psychological support is provided to address the difficulty and specific guidance and advice are provided.
