What is psychoeducation?

Psychoeducation is a discipline which works on the development of adaptive capacities with the aim of restoring a balance between the person and his environment. The psychoeducators support people in their current experience while considering the strengths already acquired. Interventions in different living environments are privileged.

Clients:

The psychoeducators at the CENO mainly provide services to children and adolescents aged 0 to 17 and their families. Parental support is also part of the services offered.
