Work and day activities

For Helsinki residents with disabilities beyond the compulsory education age, we provide meaningful engagement opportunities through our work and day activities. Our day activities take place at disability work activity centres, while work activities are conducted at both the work centres and non-institutional work activity locations of Adult Social Work, and at disability work activity centres. Additionally, we offer specialised job coaching services aimed at bolstering employment prospects and fostering independence.

Please contact Counselling for People with Disabilities by phone or email. Alternatively, you can visit one of our service points in person. If you already have a designated responsible worker for city-provided disability services, please don't hesitate to seek guidance and advice from them.
