Petrea is very ”Green” when it comes to nutrition. Clients are encouraged to adopt a healthier diet to promote their well-being. Not too much, not too little, but versatile according to one’s energy requirements.

Discussions in peer groups about health issues or life situations give perspective and support.

Towards a Better Life -

Petrea´s multiprofessional teams provide individual support and supervision for its clients to identify new career possibilities.

Special workshops are founded to experiment different kinds of work (e.g. auto-, cloth-, woodwork and computer lab workshops)

Petrea has a little shop where articles made in the Petrea workshops are for sale.

• To struggle against time (earlier rehab services for the clients) and money (to find the ”purchaser”
