Community Services, Melbourne, Australia
PRONIA - for a stronger community PRONIA [Pron’-ya] empowers, advocates and cares for the Australian Greek community.

From its origins as a vital support system for the first wave of vulnerable Greek migrants, to building a strong community over 50 years in the making. And now paving the way for whole new generation to realise their potential. Our comprehensive support services, in-depth cultural knowledge, educational expertise and advocacy is undertaken with the aim of creating a stronger community that enables each and every person to overcome disadvantage and reach their potential. PRONIA means ‘to provide’ or ‘make provision for’ in Greek, but of course it also means more than that. Its deeper connotations of ‘care’ and ‘forethought’ lie at the heart of our mission.

Last week, PRONIA held our monthly Brunswick Dementia Carers Group, where participants explored the benefits of meditation and chair yoga.
It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved, enjoying the experience and taking some time out for themselves. The carers thoroughly enjoyed the session and left feeling relaxed, refreshed and uplifted. They even expressed how much they would love to do it again! 😊
A huge thank you to Ronice for being such a fantastic facilitator and creating such a calm and enjoyable experience for everyone. A special thank you to Vicki for organising the session and for all your support.
It was lovely to see our carers enjoying a moment of relaxation, mindfulness and connection. We look forward to bringing more of these wonderful experiences to our groups! 💙

Today, PRONIA CEO Sylvia Hadjiantoniou speaks with author, teacher and former PRONIA social worker Spiri Tsintziras about her deeply personal memoir, Twelve Golden Gifts.

Their conversation explores dementia, caregiving, grief and the complex emotions that come with supporting someone you love. Spiri also reflects on the lessons her mother left behind and her wish to preserve the stories of Greek migrant women whose sacrifices and experiences are too often left unrecorded.
