« Trait d’Union » program

Montsouris Mutualist Institute
Paris

The Mutaliste Montsouris institute is a private healthcare establishment located in the 14th district of Paris. The institute is multidisciplinary and offers a wide range of medical and surgical care encompassing diagnosis, prescriptions, and treatment. It is open to everyone and at minimum cost.

The Erie Foundation supports the Trait d’Union program, a school project set up within the Institute’s Adolescent and Young Adult Psychiatry Department. The program encourages young patients to participate in their own treatment by giving them the opportunity to express themselves through their bodies and minds: physical mediation workshops to integrate their body into treatment, cultural and artistic mediation to develop their means of expression and school remediation to teach young people the pleasure of learning again.
