In France, 2 million people live with a mental disorder such as bipolarity, schizophrenia or severe depression. The Clubhouse France association is for them a springboard to an active and fulfilling social and professional life.

We manage innovative places of mutual aid called Clubhouses. The “Clubhouse” is a concept that has been proven since 1948 in more than 30 countries and 300 establishments alongside 100,000 women and men on the road to recovery.

A Clubhouse is non-medicalized and co-managed by its members – and not sick, users or beneficiaries – who regain possession of their abilities there thanks to an original methodology: co-management. It lies in the fact of managing the entire place between employees and members of the Clubhouse with patience and kindness.

Il y a, à ce jour, cinq Clubhouses en France : à Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Nantes et Paris où plus de 600 personnes se reconstruisent, à leur rythme.

The WHO Collaborating Center for Research and Training in Mental Health (WHOCC) is a functional organization bringing together a network of actions, skills, programs, in line with the mental health policy of the World Health Organization ( WHO).

The WHOCC is one of the 46 WHO collaborating centers in the world specializing in mental health (the only one in France); is appointed every 4 years by the WHO, on the basis of a multi-year programme. For the 2018-2022 period, the WHOCC has been redesignated to work on four axes:

• Assist WHO in promoting and documenting good practice in community mental health services;
• Support and develop the WHO program for the evaluation of the quality and respect of the rights of people with mental health problems in France and in French-speaking countries;
• Assist WHO in promoting user and citizen involvement in mental health services, research and training;
• Contribute to the knowledge and development of e-mental health as an innovative technology.

The WHOCC relies on a network of qualified people to implement this program and a Scientific Advisory Board. It relies on a Health Cooperation Group (GCS) bringing together 25 hospitals (i.e. 178 psychiatric sectors) to extend its action on the national territory. It is an active interface between the mental health policies of the WHO and France. The WHOCC is financially supported by various bodies: the General Directorate of Health (Ministry of Social Affairs and Health), the CNSA, the National Agency for Territorial Cohesion, the clinical research hospital program (PHRC), the ‘IRESP, foundations, the GCS, etc.

“Since its creation in October 2005, “Elected, public health & territories” (ESPT), national association for the development of public health, works for the promotion and recognition of the role of cities and local elected officials in health. With nearly 60 member cities and partners, ESPT carries out national advocacy for the reduction of social inequalities in health by promoting local policies for prevention, promotion and health education, contractualized with the State and the ARS.

By mobilizing the network of partners and the resources of their territory thanks to the powerful lever represented by their power to convene, the elected representatives of the municipalities and their groupings can act, in complementarity with the services and policies of the State, in favor of access to global health for all and taking into account all of its determinants.

Prevention and promotion of health, Mental health, Health and Environment, Local governance and Urban policy, Democracy in health and Ethics, Health of populations, young people, the elderly, women, men, in vulnerable situations, … The COVID crisis demonstrated the important role that local elected representatives play in terms of health and the transversal role of elected representatives, especially in charge of health. Public health issues concern everybody and strongly challenge those who have been elected to represent citizens at the local level, to carry out public policies adapted to the needs and guarantee the well-being of the inhabitants, the security and the possibility of living together. We are counting on your mobilization and your commitment, on a daily basis, by our side, to promote and pursue these objectives together.”
