The third regional directorate of primary education of Athens has held a one-day seminar- workshop on: “Development of children’s mental health through the cooperation with Centres of Prevention of Addictions”

The seminar was addressed to head teachers of primary schools and aimed at a better communication and cooperation with the Centres of Prevention of Addictions in our area. Moreover, it attempted to highlight the significant part of the Greek school community in the implementation of programmes advancing mental health.

The workshop engaged the attendants in role-plays where they were called to play the parts of teachers, students and parents  and then  in  a follow-up discussion  where  problematic situations and difficulties were more thouroughly examined.
