With a deep belief that the care of a child begins with the care of the parent, WELLBEINGR joins forces with the Ronald McDonald Family Room at the “Agia Sofia” Children’s Hospital, organizing a series of experiential wellbeing activities.

With respect, sensitivity, and expertise, WELLBEINGR creates conditions for psychological relief and empowerment, emotional balance, and personal care within the warm and welcoming environment of the Ronald McDonald Family Room. This space offers a true “home away from home” filled with warmth, understanding, and safety, serving as a support center for parents going through challenging times while their children are hospitalized.

Through this collaboration, WELLBEINGR reinforces the mission of the Ronald McDonald Family Room, promoting the concept of holistic care — care that embraces not only the child but the entire family, as well as the nurses and caregivers who stand at the frontline of compassion and service.

The volunteer team of Wellbeingr visited the Ronald McDonald Family Room at the “Agia Sofia” Children’s Hospital, offering this time the experiential workshop “Tuning into Joy and Love,” aimed at empowering and providing emotional relief to parents and caregivers.

Under the guidance of Antigoni Louka, Graduate of Physical Education, Physiotherapist, and Certified Trainer of Joy & Laughter, participants connected with positive emotions through breathing and relaxation exercises, joy practices, the use of positive language, the creation of optimistic thoughts, and experienced firsthand how these practices enhance emotional wellbeing.

Moments of calm, serenity, and smiles filled the room, highlighting how giving and caring can brighten the spirits of everyone.

We warmly thank Antigoni Louka, whose warm energy played a key role in creating a truly bright and positive experience for all.

The Wellbeingr team visited the Ronald McDonald Family Room at the “Agia Sofia” Children’s Hospital for the second time, offering a volunteer experiential mindfulness workshop to the nurses.

Guided by Professor Glykeria Reppa, Lecturer in Educational Psychology at Neapolis University Pafos, Psychologist, and Scientific Associate of Wellbeingr, the participants—who work under extremely stressful and demanding conditions—practiced mindfulness techniques, learning ways to remain calm and/or relax during moments of tension, to release stress in healthy ways, and to face everyday challenges with positivity and gratitude.

The nurses identified their personal and collective strengths (creativity, empathy, resilience, collaboration, humor, gratitude), reminding themselves that self-care is a necessity and that a child’s smile is always a source of strength in difficult times.

At the end of the workshop, everyone expressed a strong need for this kind of initiative, which contributes to the mental empowerment of nursing staff and supports those who care for our children with dedication every day.
