In conclusion:
In Romania the evidence of the unemployed is carried out by the National Agency for Employment which has branches in each of the 41 counties and also in Bucharest.
Free services for the unemployed are limited to:- Counseling in order to find a job- Starting a business- Professional reconversion courses- Career Counseling
In Romania there are many foundations and associations that offer free counseling for unemployed and people with mental issues.
This advice is offered in several directions:
- Consulting/guidance in order to find a job
- Expert advice for people who are employed but are in danger of losing their job because of mental issues
- “Group therapy” offered to big companies who wish to retain the employees who do performance and who realize that the stress at work can cause mental health problems

In conclusion:
From studies carried out by our company on the subject of the project, it appears that within the Agency for employment there are no specialists in coaching on career development for the unemployed.
Also, there are no psychologists to accompany the unemployed with mental health problems.
In fact, the health problems of the the unemployed are overlooked by the authorities, these being only reported by the media.
The psychological consultancy of the unemployed peoples must be paid and can only take place at their request, in private psychological cabinets.
Compared to other EU countries, the evidence of Romania’s psychological consulting is not subsidized by the government, being done professionally only in private practices.
