Apei Hénin-Carvin

What Apei Hénin-Carvin does

Apei Hénin-Carvin is a French non-profit association (loi 1901), founded in 1958 and recognized as a public utility in 1963, that accompanies approximately 700 individuals with intellectual disabilities through a network of 12 medico-social establishments and services organized into 4 poles: Enfance/Adolescence, Parcours Professionnels, Habitat/Vie en Autonomie, and Habitat/Vie Sociale. It operates in the Hénin-Carvin basin of the Hauts-de-France region and is affiliated with the UNAPEI national federation, deploying specialized methodologies such as TEACCH for autism and FALC accessible documentation. Establishments include an IME, SESSAD, ESAT, an Entreprise Adaptée, a FAM, a SAJ, a Foyer de Vie, a Résidence, a SAVS, an Habitat Inclusif dispositif, La Passerelle (a daytime care resource), and the Plateforme EMAA for caregivers.

Operational staffing totals 280 professionals providing education, protected employment, adult residential care, inclusive housing, and caregiver support. The technology/production backbone is human-delivered medico-social care rather than software or hardware products; ISO 9001:2015 certification covering the ESAT/ProDiversité operations signals formalization of quality-management systems.

Revenue is overwhelmingly public-sector: regulated tarifs from Assurance Maladie (via ARS for medical-social facilities) and the Conseil Départemental for social-services components fund the bulk of operations, supplemented by family membership fees, donations/legacies, and limited commercial revenue generated by the Entreprise Adaptée and the rebranded ProDiversité (formerly ESAT) work-inclusion activity. An Association Project covering the 2023-2028 period, validated in December 2022, frames the strategic roadmap; key recent moves include the July 2024 rebrand to ProDiversité and 2024 ISO 9001 certification.

Core offering

Apei Hénin-Carvin is a French non-profit association providing medico-social services for people with intellectual disabilities across their full lifecycle. The association operates 12 establishments and services organized in four poles (Enfance et Adolescence, Parcours Professionnels, Habitat et Vie en Autonomie, Habitat et Vie Sociale) offering specialized education (IME/SESSAD), sheltered employment (ESAT/EA), residential and day care (Foyer de Vie, FAM, SAJ, Habitat Inclusif), and caregiver support via the Plateforme EMAA.

Product overview

Apei Hénin-Carvin is a medico-social association managing 12 establishments and services across four coordinated divisions. The portfolio includes two IME (Medical-Educational Institutes) and two SESSAD services for children and adolescents; two vocational centers (ProDiversité ESAT and Entreprise Adaptée) for professional integration; and residential/day services (Résidence du Moulin, Habitat Inclusif, SAVS, Foyer de Vie, SAJ, FAM-AJ) for adults. The Plateforme EMAA provides caregiver support across the entire ecosystem. This is a multi-service associative network, not a single product, with each establishment operating semi-autonomously under the association's governance.
