Core offering

EPE Lorraine is a non-profit association delivering direct parental, family and youth support services (Café des parents sessions, family mediation, youth listening points, relationship/sexuality education, remote listening) alongside Qualiopi-certified continuing professional training for actors in the social, medical-social and educational sectors. It also operates the Maison des droits de l'enfant et des jeunes (MDEJ) for children's rights awareness and co-publishes the reference review 'L'école des parents.'

Product overview

Ecole des parents et des éducateurs de Lorraine operates as a non-profit association offering a multi-pillar service portfolio focused on parental support, child and youth rights, and professional training. The core offerings consist of three interconnected poles: the Parental and Family Support Hub providing direct services like Café des parents sessions, family mediation, and youth listening points; the Children's and Youth Rights House raising awareness through interactive programs; and the Regional Training Center delivering continuing education for social and educational professionals. The organization also publishes the quarterly journal 'L'école des parents' in partnership with érès editions, and recently expanded into mental health first aid training (PSSM). The training activities carry Qualiopi certification.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Apprentis d'Auteuil: Major French foundation supporting vulnerable youth and families through a combination of social support, family mediation, and accredited professional training. Highly comparable operating model combining direct services to families with continuing-education delivery to social-sector professionals.
• CNFPT (Centre National de la Fonction Publique Territoriale): Public-sector training operator for territorial civil servants including social and educational professionals. Comparable Qualiopi-certified training model serving the same buyer category (institutions employing social workers) and competing for the same OPCO/public CE wallet.
• Les Francas: National association delivering youth popular-education activities and certified training to educators and youth workers, with strong overlap in audience (children, families, youth professionals) and complementary-rights/youth-rights framing.
• CEMEA (Centres d'Entraînement aux Méthodes d'Éducation Active): National popular-education association delivering training and capacity-building to social, educational, and youth-sector workers via Qualiopi-certified programs. Overlaps closely with EPE Lorraine's Pôle régional de formation in target audience, pedagogy, and mission.
• France Médiation: National federation of family-mediation providers, directly comparable to EPE Lorraine's family-mediation service line within the parental-support pole.

Broad incumbents

• CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales): Public family-benefit agency funding parental-support and family-mediation services nationwide. Not a competitor but a key institutional partner/fund source for the same activity EPE Lorraine delivers.
• UNAF (Union Nationale des Associations Familiales): National umbrella of family associations representing and supporting families in France. Comparable parental-support and family-policy mission at national scope, with overlapping parent-association membership.
• UNAPEI: National federation representing associations supporting people with disabilities and their families. Adjacent mission (family accompaniment and rights advocacy) with a national footprint and similar non-profit federation structure.
• Croix-Rouge française: Large French humanitarian organization delivering social services, family support, and accredited training across multiple regions. Comparable mission and training infrastructure but at national scale and much broader portfolio.
• AFPA (Agence nationale pour la formation professionnelle des adultes): National adult vocational-training operator delivering Qualiopi-certified continuing education. Comparable certification and training-delivery model but focused on workforce reentry rather than social/medical-social specialization.
