ASAPN

What ASAPN does

ASAPN (Association pour le Soutien et l'Action Personnalisée dans le département du Nord) is a French non-profit association (Loi 1901) headquartered in Lille, founded in 1996 after taking over the tutelary activity previously managed by La Vie Active. It operates a Service Mandataire Judiciaire à la Protection des Majeurs (SMJPM), delivering court-mandated protective measures — curatelle (simple, renforcée, aménagée), tutelle, Mesure d'Accompagnement Social Personnalisé (MASP), and ad hoc mandates — for vulnerable adults in the Nord department of France. Its primary end users are adults whose mental or physical faculties impair their ability to safeguard their own interests; secondary stakeholders include family guardians (tuteurs familiaux) and the judicial magistrates who assign and oversee mandates.

The association employs 100+ professionals, including 54 certified Mandataires Judiciaires à la Protection des Majeurs (MJPM) holding the CNC credential. Services are delivered through a network of 5 regional delegations (Lille, Cambrai-Valenciennes, Douai-Sin le Noble, Dunkerque-Hazebrouck, Roubaix-Tourcoing) and 6 monthly permanence locations across the department. ASAPN is authorized under a 15-year prefectural agrément (renewed October 26, 2025) to follow 3,135 protected persons, excluding the Maubeuge and Avesnes-sur-Helpe court zones. Its quality management system, formalized since 2009-2010, was evaluated as "very satisfactory" under the HAS reference framework in 2023.

ASAPN's revenue is generated through regulated management fees deducted from protected persons' resources (capped by the arrêté du 31 août 2018, with exemptions for persons below AAH threshold), supplemented by state dotation under the Code de l'Action Sociale et des Familles. Pricing is therefore not commercially negotiated. GTM is sales-led in a non-commercial sense: mandates are assigned by judicial courts, not sold. Technology is limited to standard administrative and case-management systems plus a WordPress (Illisite) website; the association launched a LinkedIn presence in September 2024 as its first structured digital channel.
