It has been 18 months since the pilot project “Transitioning to Adulthood: A pathway to Autonomy and Self-Reliance” first began. The program funded by EPIM – the European Programme for Integration and Migration – has addressed the complex needs of young refugees residing in Athens, by adding two more core services to the holistic approach of support offered in Velos Youth, delivered by two specialised partner organisations; livelihoods & social integration support provided by HumanRights360 and mental health services provided by Day Centre Babel. 

Throughout the implementation of the project, we have faced multiple challenges and learnt a lot. In the ever-changing current environment, we are happy to be sharing this Practitioners Guide, including lessons learnt and best-practices that have emerged from the project.
