Orlando LGBT+

What Orlando LGBT+ does

Orlando LGBT+ is a Greek nonprofit organization headquartered at Kefallinias 46, Athens, focused on advancing evidence-based, depathologizing mental health care for LGBTQI+ individuals in Greece. Founded around 2020 and operating with approximately 12 staff, the organization delivers a portfolio of four core services: a national psychological support hotline (11528-Dipla Sou), an annual interdisciplinary training program for mental health professionals (now in its 7th cycle for 2026), EU-funded cross-border projects under the Resilience+ ERASMUS+ KA220-YOU program, and advocacy/research on conversion therapies. The hotline provides direct counseling to LGBTQI+ individuals, while the annual educational program — priced at 1,800 euros per participant across 10 monthly sessions including group supervision — trains psychologists, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and social workers in LGBTQI+-affirming practice. The scientific team is led by WPATH-certified PhD academics teaching at Panteion University and PADA.

Revenue mechanics combine modest training-program fees (180 euros/month × 10 months per participant), EU project grants shared across a multi-partner consortium including FITT, Identity Education, Asociatia Accept, Labris, and Helixconnect Balkans, and operating support through donations. Distribution is hybrid: hotline by phone, training delivered 70% online and 30% in-person at the Athens office. The organization has no proprietary technology platform, no app, no AI capabilities, and no equity funding; operations rely on standard web content, email contact ([email protected]), and partnership-driven referral flows. Its advocacy work — including the first national study on conversion therapies in Greece (January 2021) and the #ηταυτότητάσουδενθέλειαλλαγή criminalization campaign — positions it as Greece's primary evidence-based voice on LGBTQI+ mental health. Geographic footprint is dominated by Greece, with limited operational reach into Romania and Serbia via the Resilience+ consortium.
