Concilia'bulles

What Concilia'bulles does

Concilia'bulles is a French non-profit association (loi 1901), founded in 2019 and headquartered in Lyon, that supports parents and young children (prenatal through age 6) and works to strengthen social cohesion in priority urban neighborhoods. Its core product is the Y'APP (Y'A Personne de Parfait) parenting program, for which the association holds the French national coordination role; the program is recognized by the national parenting support fund (FNDPE) and delivered through a network of trained animateurs embedded in partner municipalities, with local coaching, a structured curriculum, and accompanying digital and printed parent resources. The organization also operates the Dispositif d'Accompagnement à la Parentalité (DAT) in Vaulx-en-Velin, targeting 108 families over three years, and runs a community of practice across partner sites in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

The association is governed by a three-person board (president, treasurer, secretary) and a six-person expert committee drawn from psychology, social work, and public health, with a core operational team of three (project lead, project manager, and a community animator/mediator). In September 2024, sociologist Marion Gaubert, specialized in parent-child attachment, was appointed director. Operations are organized around a coaching methodology for animateurs, structured parent workshops, and a community of practice that links partner municipalities.

The business model is grant-funded rather than commercial. Revenue is assembled from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Regional Health Agency (ARS ARA), Métropole de Lyon, CAF, the Cités Éducatives program, and private foundations including the Fondation de France (via Break Poverty) and the Fondation Saint-Irénée. There is no disclosed earned-income, fee-for-service, or individual-donor channel. A new "Parentalité au quotidien" training cycle planned for January 2026 indicates a tentative move toward a more formal training offering, though the underlying funding model remains institutional.

Revenue model

1. Public Institutional Funding: Concilia'bulles is a non-profit association funded primarily through grants and financial support from public institutions. Key funders include the Agence Régionale de Santé (ARS) Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the Métropole de Lyon, the State (via Cités Éducatives), and municipal governments. The association also receives support from the Stratégie de Lutte contre la Pauvreté (anti-poverty strategy) and various private foundations.
2. Foundation and Private Philanthropy: Support from private foundations including Fondation Break Poverty (via Dotation d'Action Territoriale for Vaulx-en-Velin) and Fondation St-Irénée. These foundations provide multi-year project funding tied to specific territorial deployments.
3. Sale of Pedagogical Materials: Concilia'bulles sells Y'APP parent resource kit books (Kit de 5 livres Y'APP) for 30 euros per kit plus shipping costs. Orders are placed by email ([email protected]) with payment by bank transfer or check.
4. Professional Training Fees: The organization delivers professional training (formation continue) to social sector professionals. While Y'APP training is free for professionals (supported by ARS), a paid training program on 'Soutenir les parents en contexte de précarité et d'interculturalité' is offered in partnership with MRIE, with registration via the Digiforma platform. This represents a fee-for-service training revenue stream.

Core offering

Concilia'bulles coordinates and delivers the Y'A Personne de Parfait (Y'APP) parental support program in France, a structured peer-support methodology for families with children aged 0-5, originally developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada. The association delivers the Y'APP program directly to parents through institutional partnerships, trains social sector professionals to become accredited Y'APP facilitators, and runs complementary parental support services including parent-child workshops, themed parent meetings, and debate evenings. Revenue comes primarily from public institutional grants (ARS, Métropole de Lyon, State) and private foundations, with a small portion from paid professional training and Y'APP resource kit sales.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Nurse-Family Partnership: Evidence-based nurse home visiting programme for low-income first-time mothers and their children; comparable in mission (prevention via structured parental support) and in operating as a programme with rigorous outcome evaluation.
• Home-Start International: UK-headquartered charity with affiliates in multiple countries including France (Home-Start France), delivering volunteer-led peer support to vulnerable parents with young children — the closest international analogue to Y'APP's mutual-aid parenting model.
• Parents as Teachers: US evidence-based parent education and family support programme for families from pregnancy through kindergarten, using trained parent educators and home visits — directly comparable in target population (parents of 0–5) and structured-visit methodology.
• Healthy Families America: Evidence-based home visiting programme for at-risk families, operated by Prevent Child Abuse America; matches Concilia'bulles on the intersection of parental support, prevention, and train-the-accredited-home-visitor model.

Others

• Fondation de France: Major French philanthropic foundation operating one of the country's largest parental-support grant programmes; relevant as both a parallel funder and an ecosystem actor, not as a direct service competitor.
• Enfance & Familles d'Adoption: French national non-profit supporting adoptive families and children through parental support, training, and peer groups — comparable as a French non-profit delivering parent support and professional training, though narrower in target population (adoptive families).
• Caisse Nationale des Allocations Familiales (CNAF): French national family benefits agency that funds the REAAP (Réseau d'Écoute, d'Appui et d'Accompagnement des Parents) framework and is itself a current Concilia'bulles funder — comparable as the public-sector coordinator of parental support policy in France.

Broad incumbents

• ATD Quart Monde: Large French anti-poverty NGO with longstanding family and early-childhood programming; relevant as a much larger French incumbent operating in overlapping vulnerable-family territory with a different (rights-based) methodology.
• Secours Catholique: Large French Catholic charity supporting families in poverty across France, including parental accompaniment and early-childhood programmes; overlaps in target population and geographic scope but operates at much greater scale and with a broader welfare mandate.
• Family Resource Center Network (National Family Support Network): US national network of family resource centres offering parenting support, early childhood programming, and home visiting — broader in scope and geography but structurally similar as a coordinator of parent support services.
