What Psy’Activ does

Psy'Activ (legal name: Association Psy'Activ) is a French non-profit association (Association loi 1901) headquartered in Carquefou, France, that operates an integrated psychiatric rehabilitation and sheltered employment ecosystem in the Pays de la Loire region. The organization runs the Centre de Postcure Psychiatrique (CPP), a hospital facility with 115 beds and healthcare places spread across 4 reception sites, structured into five specialized services: the Unité d'Accueil d'Evaluation et d'Orientation (UAEO) with 46 evaluation beds; the Hôpital de semaine with 29 Monday-to-Friday hospitalization beds; the Accueil de Jour en Ateliers Thérapeutiques (AJAT) for day care; 10 therapeutic apartments providing up to 6 months of supervised independent housing; and the Service d'Evaluation et d'Accompagnement Professionnel (SEAP) for professional reintegration planning. Across these services, therapeutic workshops (stone cutting, laundry, sewing, bike repair, carpentry, restaurant service, green spaces, floriculture, market gardening) serve as rehabilitation tools. Psy'Activ also operates ESAT Sud-Loire, a sheltered work establishment providing 48 places for people with disabilities through vineyard and green spaces workshops.

The organization serves a single primary customer segment: adults with serious psychiatric disorders (handicap psychique) referred through psychiatric sector services, hospitals, or family homes, who require post-acute rehabilitation to regain autonomy and social/professional integration. Its workforce of 95 healthcare professionals plus support staff is led by Director Delphine Rousselet, with governance under former President Éric Van Daele.

Psy'Activ's business model is structured around France's public healthcare and social-services financing system. Revenue streams include Sécurité Sociale reimbursements for hospital days (with a patient-paid forfait journalier of €15/day), state funding for ESAT workers' wages, and modest tenant contributions (€300/month all-inclusive) for therapeutic apartments. The organization holds HAS (Haute Autorité de Santé) certification dated 21 April 2022, evidencing compliance with French healthcare quality standards. Patient acquisition is referral-driven via formal pre-admission dossiers and psychiatric validation; Psy'Activ does not engage in commercial marketing beyond a website, newsletter, and organic social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn.
