The National Agency for Employment in Romania provides services to help unemployed individuals find work, including vocational counseling, training programs, job placement assistance, and subsidies for companies hiring unemployed workers. However, the document notes that the agency lacks specialists to provide career coaching or psychological support for those dealing with mental health issues while unemployed. While some non-profit organizations in Romania offer free counseling, psychological consultations must generally be paid for privately without government subsidies.
The document summarizes the findings of a two-year EU project on mental issues in job centers. The project surveyed over 600 professionals in eight countries. It found that most job center staff encounter clients with emotional and mental problems daily but feel unprepared to help due to a lack of training. In response, the project developed a one-day training course covering the adverse mental effects of unemployment and improving staff communication and support skills. Staff who completed the course highly rated its benefits. However, the document notes jobseekers remain cautious about disclosing issues to staff.
