- For professionals: a counseling and awareness-raising program on best practices for resolving individual or collective psychological issues ("FIL HARMONIE").
PEER CARE, a program for teaching and mutual assistance in identifying risky behavior among students
This program is run by the team of Dr. O. Phan, child psychiatrist and addiction specialist at FSEF. It offers training to students and professionals at the School with the aim of reducing or limiting the risks associated with the consumption of dangerous substances (particularly alcohol) and contributing to the early detection of risky behaviors and addictive behaviors.
These measures are the result of close collaboration and have been made possible thanks to the active support of all student associations and alumni (the Société des Ingénieurs Arts et Métiers and the Fondation Arts et Métiers). They complement the work carried out on certain campuses by the University Preventive Medicine services and are coordinated with local health resources.
