ESTIA Social Centre for Persons with Mental Disability

Established as an Association, the “ESTIA” Social Centre for Persons with Mental Disability began its operation in 1981. Its purpose is to provide lifelong free-of-charge care and special treatment and/or other necessary raising, education, social adjustment, vocational guidance, vocational pre-training and training, socio-economic integration, and employment of people with mental disability or another similar disability. For a person to qualify as mentally disabled, a diagnosis is required by a competent body, while his/her integration into the Centre and its activities requires an examination by an Interdisciplinary Committee which consists of specialists (psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker and occupational therapist) and is set up by the Association’s Board of Directors.
