Proposed by LES EAUX VIVES EMMAUS , LES EAUX VIVES EMMAUSUpdated on il y a un an

CESaME44 is a team of psychologists, nurses and health mediators, who help and support the mental health of exiled people.

The team travels to several locations in Loire-Atlantique: Nantes, Saint-Nazaire, Châteaubriant and Blain.

They offer:

regular drop-in sessions with individual reception times and times for discussions or group activities
group workshops by registration: artistic expression, yoga, discussion groups, understanding the French healthcare system, etc.
individual listening and psychological support interviews with psychologists or the nurse (3 or 4 interviews maximum per person)
health mediation: how to access care depending on your situation, know how health works in France...

It is open to all and everything is free. You must respect the other participants, the CESaME44 team and the places where the activities take place.

Why is it interesting?

In group activities, everyone can express themselves, or choose not. You can share your journey if you want, but you don't have to if you don't feel like it. You can say what is difficult at the moment but also what feels good, what is important to you.

During individual interviews, all information remains confidential. You can stop whenever you want.

For all activities, CESaME44 professionals are accustomed to using translation applications. You can also have the help of a professional interpreter in your language, to make yourself understood if necessary.

When you have sleep problems (nightmares, insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, etc.), sad or painful memories, memory loss, difficulty learning, moments of anxiety, pain, etc., it is important to be able to talk about it and not stay alone.

In addition to the activities offered, professionals can guide you and help you obtain care in other departments.

All group activities take place in a friendly atmosphere.

Connecting with people who are experiencing similar challenges or who share solutions or resources can help you feel less alone.
