The new daycare center will be located next to the kindergarten, so Symppisen's move requires a lot of preparations. For example, the areas will be separated by a fence and employees and a security guard will ensure safety.

Substance abuse services day center offering Nice guy will move to Kajaaninlinnantie 10 for two years in April, report The City of Helsinki.
Itäkeskus Symppis previously operated in Turunlinnantie, but had to move out of the premises at the end of 2023 due to the end of the lease.
In April, Symppis will open its doors in the premises of the old language high school, albeit only temporarily. The aim is to find permanent premises for the Day Center in Eastern Helsinki in the next two years.
Before moving to the newest facilities, substance users are offered services at Symppisen mobile service through, and in Kontula and Sörnäinen day centers.
You guys are low-threshold day centers that offer substance users, for example, health and social counseling and guidance on other services.
Due to the northwest of the services, the change of the day center is planned to be discussed with the residents and operators of the area. In the neighborhood of the old language high school, there are, for example, the Puotila daycare center and the Itäkeskus primary school a few hundred meters away.
The aim is to ensure the safety of the local environment by designating some of Symppis' employees for neighborhood work, so that it is easier for people in the area to contact the unit if necessary. In addition, there is a guard on site during opening hours, on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Also there are known changes to the courtyard and interior spaces.
Since Puotila kindergarten is located right next to the old language high school, we plan to separate the yards with a fence so that there is no line of sight to the other side. In addition, during the renovation work, it is planned to ensure that the entrances to the daycare center and the daycare center are on different sides of the area.
According to the city, the changes to the courtyard and the interior will start soon.
I agree the substance abuse services offered are statutory and the city of Helsinki has an obligation to organize services according to the need in the area.
After the closing of the Turunlinnantie day center, substance abuse clients have been directed to the services of a mobile unit, as well as Kontula's Symppis. However, increasing the number of customers in Kontula has not been a sustainable solution in the long term.
Correction February 5 at 4:27 p.m.: The story first stated that Symppis moved out of Turunlinnantie due to eviction. The move took place when the lease was no longer renewed.
