Why partner with KINAPSY?

A Unique and Vital Focus

KINAPSI is a non-profit association specifically dedicated to the search, support, and activation of siblings of persons with mental disorders throughout Greece. While many organizations focus on patients or parents, KINAPSI addresses the unique psychological and social needs of siblings, providing a critical and often overlooked link in the mental health support system

Unique Sibling-Centered Focus

KINAPSI is the only national association in Greece specifically dedicated to the support and activation of siblings of persons with mental disorders. We fill a vital gap in the mental health ecosystem, ensuring that the entire family unit is resilient and informed.

Rights Advocacy & De-stigmatization

We are active front-line advocates for the legal rights of families. By partnering with us, you join a movement committed to the psycho-social rehabilitation of patients, the protection of insurance rights, and the fight against social stigma across Greece.

Multidisciplinary Expertise

From networking with Day Centers and Guest Houses in Greece to organizing scientific seminars and festivals, KINAPSI offers a diverse platform for collaboration. We combine clinical knowledge with grassroots social action and creative therapeutic practices.
