PANDA Program – An Educational and Therapeutic Psychosocial Support Program

The PANDA Psychosocial Support Program is an educational program with therapeutic components designed for children and adults who are living with, or are part of the same environment as, individuals affected by alcohol dependency. The program is open to groups of children aged 4 to 14, as well as groups of their parents who are not affected by alcohol dependency. Beneficiaries are engaged in various educational activities and may also receive support through individual or group sessions.

The participation of the non-dependent parent alongside the child fosters a sense of unity and creates opportunities for meaningful communication. The program aims to support positive changes in children’s attitudes toward their personal and family situations, improve their psycho-emotional well-being, strengthen self-esteem, enhance school performance, and support better social interaction with peers in the community. It also contributes to the prevention of alcohol use among children.
