Canvas<\/strong>

I am Giorgos Anastasopoulos. I was born and live in Athens. A significant part of my life is dedicated to elements that have made up this metropolis over time: Music, sports, public affairs, philosophy, its streets and people.

Academic Pursuits<\/strong>

My studies are in the social sciences. I have a PhD from the Department of Sociology of Panteion University, where I taught for two years. I also have a degree in Anthropology and History.

Psychosocial Support
<\/strong>
My presence in the field of psychosocial support begins in 2015. Both through personal trials, which brought me into the position of the patient and the trainee, and through the provision of services to vulnerable populations - professionally and voluntarily - for international organizations and non-profit organizations. Mainly to refugees, immigrants and the homeless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Impact<\/strong>\u03c2

The majority of the cases I have handled concern children, young people, trauma, addictions, neurodiversity and psychosis. A valuable source of inspiration for me is the Humanlinks team, with whom I have been collaborating since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training in the Method

<\/strong>At the same time, I begin my four-year experiential training at the:
\u201cNon-Directive \u2013 Interventional Psychotherapy and Research\u201d Institute
The educational process followed is the personal experiential experience of the participants, which is also the starting point for the theoretical and methodological approach of NDI. Our trainers are psychiatrist George Astrinakis and psychologist Kaiti Kanakakis. My thesis concerns the experience, management and recovery of a psychotic episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
