Structure of competence centre:

We have very good cooperation with the Police and Border Guard Board (PBGB), schools and kindergartens all over the Estonia and institutions like clinics and the Health Board. For PBGB we have organised health seminars in their work place, analysed their psychological health aspects in the context of applied research and provided them community service in our College. For example in 2017/2018 we provided massage service for the community 420 times.

„We are very grateful for the opportunity to work together with Competence Centre in Tartu Health Care College. They have provided us massage, physiotherapy service and mental health counselling. We are looking forward to continue our fruitful cooperation in the future!“ (Helen Perli, PBGB working environment specialist).
