Dr. Leidinger, Rave-Schwank & Kayser at EUFAMI/BApK Forum: families are mental health's "hidden workforce," facing stigma & isolation.
Empowering carers is essential for recovery. Cross-border solutions can break barriers. Unity breaks stigma.

Με μεγάλη επιτυχία και τη συμμετοχή περισσότερων από 150 ατόμων, πραγματοποιήθηκε η 11η Ημερίδα της ΕΠΙΟΝΗ «Φροντίζοντας τους Φροντιστές». Η αίθουσα του Πνευματικού Κέντρου γέμισε με άτυπους φροντιστές, επαγγελματίες υγείας και πολίτες, ενώ την εκδήλωση τίμησε με την παρουσία του ο Δήμαρχος Καλαμάτας.Τι κρατάμε από τους ειδικούς μας:Νευροβιολογία & Φύλο: Οι γυναίκες αποτελούν τα 2/3 των ανθρώπων με κατάθλιψη στην Ευρώπη, με τις ορμονικές μεταβολές να παίζουν καθοριστικό ρόλο στη διάθεση.Ο «Δεύτερος Ασθενής»: Ο φροντιστής συχνά παραμελεί τον εαυτό του, όμως το χρόνιο στρες έχει βιολογικό αποτύπωμα και απαιτεί έγκαιρη παρέμβαση.Τα δεδομένα της Μεσσηνίας: 2 στους 3 φροντιστές στην περιοχή μας αναφέρουν σημαντικό ψυχικό φορτίο, ενώ το 36,2% βιώνει έντονο άγχος.Από το Τραύμα στην Ανθεκτικότητα: Η φροντίδα μπορεί να «πληγώνει», αλλά η ανθεκτικότητα είναι μια διαδικασία που μαθαίνεται μέσα από τη θετικότητα και την ευελιξία.Η Δύναμη της Σχέσης: 20 χρόνια φροντίδας μας έμαθαν πως η παρουσία είναι πιο δυνατή από τις λέξεις.✨ Το μήνυμα της ημέρας: «Δεν χρειάζεται να είστε ακούραστοι, χρειάζεται να είστε παρόντες... και για να είστε παρόντες, πρέπει να είστε καλά!».Ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ στους συνεργαζόμενους φορείς μας (ΚΔΑΠμεΑ Δήμου Καλαμάτας, Σύλλογος Αυτισμού Μεσσηνίας, IASIS, Θάλπος, Κήπος της Λυσούς) και στους χορηγούς μας για τη στήριξη.📍 Μαζί χτίζουμε ένα δίκτυο προστασίας για εκείνους που προσφέρουν την καρδιά τους.#ΕΠΙΟΝΗ #Φροντιστές #Καλαμάτα #ΨυχικήΥγεία #CaregiversSupport #Resilience #MentalHealthAwareness #Messinia #SupportTheCaregivers #Health2026

EPIONI hosted its 4th Arts & Mental Health Festival from May 21 to 24, highlighting the powerful connection between creativity and mental well-being.
Through this festival, the organization reminds us that art can be a meaningful space for expression, support, and healing for people living with mental health challenges, their families, and caregivers. 💛
The festival featured moments of sharing, reflection, and creativity, all centered on the therapeutic value of art. Initiatives like this show how cultural and artistic approaches can help raise awareness, reduce isolation, and promote a more human-centered view of mental health.🤝🌍
A big well done to EPIONI for this beautiful initiative and for its ongoing commitment to caregivers and mental health.💙

🎭😄 COMIC RELIEF | WP3 – Piloting Sessions
Over the past three months, we ran 3 co-construction workshops with young people — creative, joyful, and deeply meaningful. 💛
📅 March 30 | April 27 | May 25, 2026
🎯 Why these workshops?
As part of the European project #ComicRelief, co-funded by the European Union, we are exploring how humour and creativity can help young people (aged 16–30) deal with stress, anxiety and social isolation. No theory without practice — we experiment first, with them, for them.
These piloting sessions are at the heart of the project: co-designing a method that truly works, before turning it into a handbook for youth professionals.
What we explored:
✨ Improvisation theatre
🤡 Clown therapy
✂️ Collage & hands-on activities
🖌️ Painting & artistic expression
Laughing together is also a way to reconnect — with yourself and with others. These workshops showed us that humour is a genuine tool for resilience. 💪
What's next? We'll share our results with European partners in Slovakia this summer, to finalize the handbook and video tutorials together.
🇪🇺 Co-funded by the European Union.
