Community initiatives in Greece are addressing child welfare and family support through various regional programs.

In Crete, the Region of Heraklion is organizing an educational event titled ‘Growing Together by Supporting the New Family’ to improve road safety for parents and children. This initiative involves the Heraklion Traffic Police, the Regional Directorate of Education, and SOS Traffic Accidents.

In Patras, SOS Children's Villages operates a Child and Family Support Center that has provided psychosocial support, speech therapy, and special education since 2017. The center also offers tutoring and creative workshops, such as music and English classes, to empower youth and provide guidance to parents.
