Les Boréales counselling is for anyone (children, adolescents, adults, the elderly) who has suffered or committed violence and/or sexual abuse within the family. It is therefore aimed at families/couples caught up in violent interactions, as well as families or adolescents under court order for negligence, ill-treatment or sexual abuse.
The centre offers a range of services, including individual, couple and family therapy, guidance and support, home visits and discussion groups.
Consultations are by prior appointment only. At the request of professionals, consultations can be arranged at short notice.

Point Rencontre provides a protected space for children to maintain or re-establish links with their estranged parent. It is a working space that enables the child to be in contact with both parents, beyond the conflicts linked to their separation.
Our role
- Promote the establishment, resumption or maintenance of contact between the child and the parent with whom he or she does not live
- To support the child-parent relationship
- To promote parenting skills
- Support the relationship with a view to unimpeded access.
Exercising visiting rights
Meetings can take place according to models adapted to each situation:
- 2-hour meetings on the premises
- visits lasting 3 or 6 hours with permission to leave the premises
- visits with permission to leave the premises from Saturday to Sunday morning
- a place to pick up the child at the end of the week and bring him/her back on Sunday (drop-offs).
Prior interviews with each parent
Access to Point Rencontre is based on a court order. Each of the parents is received for an interview prior to setting up visits.

The Unité de prestations espace rencontre (UPER) provides three different services:
- A service for children who have left the boarding school and are placed with a foster family or with one of their biological parents.
- A service for children in boarding care who see their parent(s) away from home.
- Provision for children who have left boarding school to return home. The aim of the first two services is to maintain the parent-child bond in a special place. The home service is provided by two UPER educators. This service is provided when the child returns home from boarding school.
Resources

- Parents and children are brought together in a special area where games are available.
- Visits outside the home can also be arranged.
