ADSEA 17-LA PROTECTRICE

What ADSEA 17-LA PROTECTRICE does

ADSEA 17 (Association Départementale de Sauvegarde de l'Enfance et de l'Adolescence de Charente-Maritime, known historically as "La Protectrice") is a French non-profit association under the loi 1901 recognized as an entity of public utility since 1955. Founded in 1919 in Rochefort and formed through the 1996/1998 merger of La Protectrice and ADSEA, the organization delivers comprehensive child protection services across the entire Charente-Maritime department, serving minors and young adults aged 0-21. Its service portfolio is organized into two main poles: the Pôle Hébergement Diversifié (PHD), which encompasses seven residential and semi-residential facilities (MECS de Chancelée, IPM, HEA, SAS Transbordeur, APMN, MNA-RELAI/MINA, La Frégate) representing approximately 125+ residential places; and the Pôle Action Éducative en Milieu Ouvert (AEMO/AED), operating nine territorial antennes with a capacity of 1,040 open-environment places. The association also co-manages the Maison Des Adolescents et des Jeunes Adultes (MDAJA) in La Rochelle.

The underlying operational model is human-intensive social and educational services delivery, not technology-based. Services operate 365 days per year with continuous on-call coverage, supported by multidisciplinary teams of éducateurs spécialisés, moniteurs éducateurs, psychologues, and chefs de service, supplemented by administrative staff and a volunteer base. The association is affiliated with the national federation CNAPE and partnered with Éducation Nationale, PMI, CMP, and local leisure/cultural associations.

Revenue is derived almost entirely from public departmental funding allocated by the Conseil Départemental de Charente-Maritime under ASE (Aide Sociale à l'Enfance) authorizations, with referrals originating from the Tribunal pour Enfants, the Direction de la Solidarité Départementale, and the Service Interdépartemental de Protection Judiciaire de la Jeunesse. A minor supplementary revenue stream derives from individual and organizational donations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed as services are provided under judicial or administrative decisions rather than on a commercial fee basis.
