36ème édition des Semaines d'Information sur la santé mentale

Organized every year at national level, the SISM events aim to raise public awareness of mental health issues, encourage discussion and combat stigmatization.
"For our mental health, let's repair the social link", the 2025 theme, underlines the importance of human relationships in our psychological well-being. Recreating links, encouraging exchanges and reinforcing a sense of belonging are all keys to taking care of our own mental health and that of others.

Throughout the territory covered by the Centre Psychothérapique de Nancy, 6 SISM collectives work throughout the year, with some 20 CPN staff involved with associative and institutional partners (Grand Nancy, Neuves-Maisons, St Nicolas-de-Port, Lunéville, Pont-à-Mousson and Toul). The aim: to propose local actions for the general public during the 2 weeks of October.
