A technical disturbance has downed the City of Helsinki's switchboard, causing calls to drop or not go through. We are working to resolve the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Due to a fire, Kontula Symppis is closed until further notice. The Itis and Sörkka Symppis locations, as well as the street-based outreach work of Mobile Symppis, are operating as usual. We will provide an update as soon as we have more information about when Kontula Symppis will reopen.

Itis Symppis

Located in Itäkeskus, Itis Symppis is a low-threshold day activity centre for you if you have substance abuse and mental health problems.

You can come to Symppis under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and anonymously.
