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.
- The Petrea Way
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.
Challenges for Petrea
• to support the increasing
clients´needs
• to provide ”right rehab
products” for business and
authorities (companies,
labour insurance
companies, labour office,
KELA..)
• To struggle against time
(earlier rehab services for
the clients) and money (to
find the ”purchaser”
