Pressroom

The Helsinki Deaconess Institute is a non-profit organisation boldly working for human dignity. We help people at risk of social exclusion.

We assist the media openly and quickly. Our specialists are available for interview. Their areas of specialisation cover undocumented people, the traveller population, youth social exclusion, homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, and child protection.

Some of our news items are available in English on this website.
