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.
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.
