Psychiatrist in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Department at the UHC University Hospital of Lille and senior lecturer at the University of Lille.
Access to care is one of the cornerstones of mental health. There’s a fine balance in terms of democratic health care regarding this very private but also very social issue. I’d like to see a gateway to accessing mental health services which is clear and easy to navigate and based on the unconditional belief that the need is legitimate. It’s about access that is universal but also proportionate, paying special attention to the most vulnerable people who are furthest removed from care services socially or geographically. A dynamic gateway able to anticipate people’s future needs built on a relationship of confidence. A gateway should be able to intervene, evaluate a situation and point people towards the right resources. A gateway which create better connections between what is needed, and the competences required to meet those needs. A gateway that helps us organize our work better so we can be more efficient and fairer. Also a system that is structurally more sensitive to and available for those that are in distress in society.

« [...] the priority here should be working to finally shift how we regard mental health. [...] By moving away from these stereotypes, we can revisit certain clichés, which will allow us to look after ourselves better and also promote inclusion. »View the portrait
