Ioannina

CAMHI hub center

The University General Hospital of Ioannina and the Psychiatric Clinic of the P.G.N.I. play a crucial role in expanding the scope of CAMHI and offering sources of information and mental health care for children and adolescents in Northwest Greece. Based on the Memorandum of Understanding between the Hospital and the Psychiatric Clinic, CAMHI and the Hellenic Ministry of Health, the Ioannina hub center joined the Network and operates within the Community Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (Ko.Ke.P.S.Y.P.E.) with a significant role in serving the broad geographic area of Epirus, providing support in areas of its jurisdiction where child and adolescent mental health services are particularly limited.
