LOCALIZATION AND SUPPORT
OF UNACCOMPANIED MINORS
The program’s goal was to locate and approach unaccompanied minors, to provide medical and pharmaceuti-
cal support, as well as a diagnosis for their individual needs, to help with their psychosocial issues directly or
through references and connections to other organizations and services.
The intervention was conducted from the Polyclinics of PRAKSIS in Athens, Thessaloniki and in the Drop-in
Center in Patras, as well as in places such as the minors’ hostels, detention centers, and open spaces where
unaccompanied minors were staying (street work interventions).
PRAKSIS executives and volunteers gave important and useful information to the unaccompanied minors ver-
bally, in print, and electronically/via mp3 devices, in their native languages, regarding their rights and obliga-
tions, information regarding the support in the receiving county, prepaid phone cards so that they could get
in touch with both their families and support organizations, toiletry kits and emergency items like clothing and
food.
