The Support Committee for Vulnerable Groups of the University of Western Macedonia provides care and support to the University human resources (administrative and academic staff, undergraduate and postgraduate students and PhD candidates, alumni, research associates) and endorses a wide-ranging network of biopsychosocial services, aiming at promoting psychological resilience, as well as personal, professional and social development.

In this context, the UoWM Student Support Unit for Vulnerable Groups (MYFEO) delivers social care and counselling services to all University students, especially to disadvantaged individuals. MYFEO aims to enable equal access to education for students with different abilities and needs, by providing for adaptive processes, assistive technology, access services, consultation and funding.

In particular, MYFEO engages in:

offering daily psychological support and counselling (individual and group) to students in all University cities
implementing best practices and student assistance protocols and special exam methods
training the University staff in student support actions
appointing competent staff in all Department Administration services to support the disabled
delivering services to improve accessibility to University buildings
creating library access facilities for people with mobility problems and visual impairments
delivering services to improving e-accessibility – accessibility to information (services for students with sensory disabilities)
organising transport services for students belonging to vulnerable groups
providing benefits to low-income students, such as rent subsidies or other financial support.
The Committee is coordinated by the Department of Student Welfare, and submits an Action Plan and Report to the Rector’s Council and QAU.
