Complementing existing structures, the House of Adolescents has a multidisciplinary team led by Professor Martine Myquel, comprised of professionals open to dialogue, attentive, and intent on providing personalized, flexible, and rapid responses to the specific needs of each situation. The new premises will allow for the installation of a part-time reception facility.
The House of Adolescents:
· Provides comprehensive health solutions: psychological, somatic, social, educational, legal, and academic.
· Welcomes, listens, informs, guides, and takes care of adolescents in transdisciplinarity.
· Listens to parents often overwhelmed, and in full questioning, by the changes their adolescents are going through.
“Activity progress made a leap in 2010; we saw 541 adolescents, of whom 445 were new; in the first 10 months of 2011, 700 adolescents were welcomed. This shows that many adolescents have relatively short follow-ups, which aligns with the project of the House of Adolescents that aimed to reach adolescents in difficulty before lasting troubles settle in.
Progress is also reflected by a doubling of acts, from 1,774 acts in 2009 to 3,418 in 2010; this shows the interest of this type of work that reaches a different population than that of CMP and hospital consultations.
