Over several days, we were able to understand the structure and rigorous organization of Phénix and Trempoline for better functioning, discover cultural differences, and experiment with discussion groups focused on emotions.Objective 3 Acquire therapeutic toolsGoal achieved. During this stay, we learned a lot about the use of tools such as Structure, the green card, feelings tickets, unveiling, confrontations, the weather, the phase table, philosophy. These different tools can be transposed to our reality on the ground.”

“I was able to achieve my goals. At Phénix I saw the work of the staff, the tools they use to work with peers. How to position yourself in front of your peers, in fact I was very surprised to see that in Phénix we use informal terms. In the pyramid which is made up of groups by sector, the team leaders, the pilots, the coordinators impressed me a lot. To see how peers manage themselves, they plan their day themselves.I confirm that yes I received much more than my objectives.”

“Colleagues from Trempoline and Phénix presented the missions and functioning of the different centers well.The morning with Caroline Cangelosi in Trepose was very fruitful, she presented us with her “youth dock” service and the different support tools offered to young people and families. I believe that important work must be done with parents for their children to progress in the program. The goal is to establish clear and simple objects with young people while encouraging them to participate in activities to fill the day so that they do not have time to think about the product.With Muriel we were very involved in the analysis of professional practices, we presented the specificities of our audience and the issues we face on a daily basis. I really appreciated his colleague’s speech, he told us his life story and the motivations that push him to support people today.At Trempoline, I was immersed for 2 days at the CT with Mathieu, he introduced me to the operation and rules of the center. I discovered “the structure” through professionals and residents. I attended 2 confrontations (resident-coordinator and Staff-coordinator). In addition, I observed the teamwork of Trempoline colleagues and was presented with the different transmission tools. The rest of the time I spent a lot of time with the residents to see how they organize themselves at the sector level.In Phénix, I participated in a support group, a narcotics anonymous group and several staff meetings. Benjamin presented me with the different working tools of the staff and François gave a presentation of the different services of the center. I also chose to stay with the interns to observe how they organized their days.”
