What CRP Les Marronniers does

CRP Les Marronniers is a Belgian non-profit regional psychiatric centre headquartered at Rue Despars 94, Tournai, operating three integrated care sectors: the Centre Hospitalier Spécialisé (CHS) for voluntary psychiatric hospitalisation, the Hôpital Psychiatrique Sécurisé (HPS) for court-placed forensic patients under the Belgian internment law, and the Maison de Soins Psychiatriques (MSP) for long-term residential psychiatric care. The institution serves patients across the full age range — children aged 6-12 (Les Coquelicots, 10 beds), adolescents 12-17 (Les Kiwis, 13 rooms; Les Mangroves for justice-referred boys), adults requiring voluntary or intensive hospitalisation, adults in forensic care, and adults in residential placement — with a combined capacity of 750+ beds/places and a workforce of 1,200+ employees. The care model rests on multi-modal therapeutic approaches (psychosocial rehabilitation, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, systemic, integrative, neuropsychological, psychoanalytic therapies) delivered by multidisciplinary teams, augmented by a Centre Thérapeutique Culturel et Sportif (720 m² sports hall plus 11 activity rooms) and a post-discharge follow-up ecosystem of six integrated devices (La Pause Cafet', B'eau B'art sober bistro, Le Cordeau addiction groups, mobile teams, CTCS, outpatient consultations).

Distribution is exclusively direct and institutional: inpatient and day services are delivered on the Tournai campus and at the L'arbre à soi site in Ath, outpatient consultations operate from the Centre de Consultations Spécialisées, and a child psychiatry liaison service is embedded in three regional hospitals (CHwapi, CHM Mouscron, Epicura Ath). The revenue model operates under the Belgian social security system via the tiers payant mechanism, with mutuelles/health insurers directly invoiced for covered services and patients billed for residual fees under a monthly billing cadence. The institution is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Virginie De Clercq with Vincent Hecq as Directeur Général, and is currently executing a major capital programme including a new 272-bed HPS (target 2028-2029) and a new child-adolescent psychiatric plateau (2025 start). Joint research with the CRDS (Centre de Recherche en Défense sociale) underpins academic output in forensic psychiatry and risk assessment.
