Neighborhood Social Worker Program Resumes Operations in Paralimni

The neighborhood social worker program is resuming operations in Paralimni – Deryneia, following a meeting between social workers and the Mayor and Deputy Mayors. The program, implemented by the Social Welfare Services of the Deputy Ministry of Social Welfare in collaboration with the Municipality, provides free counseling and psychosocial support to adults, children, and families. Its activities include the prevention of social risks, raising awareness about healthy lifestyles, informing about social issues, and collaborating with other services. The program also aims to empower citizens to address social problems in their neighborhoods and organize information and training activities. It is part of the broader project “Restructuring of Social Welfare Services” and is co-financed by the European Union through the “Thalia 2021-2027” Cohesion Policy Program.
