A real alternative to isolation and confinement, the Rénovation association aims to help anyone who encounters social or psychological difficulties to live better in society and find their place. Created in 1995, this association specializes in supporting young people (children, adolescents) but also adults. The mission is vast for this regional structure which approaches care as a broad conception and advocates global care. The idea is to take care by favoring the power to act and the empowerment of the person.
Renovation for full support
15 establishments participate in the life of the association to accomplish its missions of supporting these people. Consultations in a medico-psychological center for parents and children, full-time care in psychiatry or children in care… The areas of expertise of the association are complete to best meet the needs of young people in difficulty. The link and the follow-up are at the heart of the process. “We get to know the young person, we build his project with him and we accompany him towards school, professional integration, for his accommodation… to support his future life” explains the general manager of the association, Thierry Perrigaud .
Festive meetings to get known
In order to carry out its missions, but also to de-stigmatize mental illness, the Rénovation association organizes events. Since 2015, R’Festif has been presented as a great day to highlight the achievements of the people accompanied (rap, dance, theatre, singing…). See you in 2023 at the Rocher de Palmer in Cenon for this event which takes place every two years. In the meantime, Renovation is offering a national rugby challenge from June 23 to 25, 2022 in Hagetmau (Landes). 800 people are expected! A major sporting event followed by an unprecedented show with 60 caregivers and patients gathered on stage for “Persona”. This year, they meet on December 1 and 2 at the Cuvier de Feydeau in Artigues-près-Bordeaux. To set up all these events and to bring the association to life, Rénovation opens its doors wide to future members who would like to join this adventure for the well-being of young people in Gironde (but also in the territory ranging from Charente Maritime to the Pyrenees Atlantics).
