The aim is to provide SFU Master’s students with a place where they can receive training in therapeutic care, under the supervision of professionals. This space offers affordable psychological follow-up to people suffering from existential difficulties or psychological disorders, referred for the most part by hospitals and medical-social action structures (CMP, associations such as La Croix Rouge, Emmaüs, etc.). Confrontation with patients from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds helps students to integrate and put into practice the theoretical foundations acquired during their training.
The ethical dimension of this clinic is dear to the heart of the SFU, which, in line with the wishes of the World Health Organization, wishes to place mental health at the heart of public health concerns.
