Santé mentale, la revue

What Santé mentale, la revue does

ACTE PRESSE SAS, operating commercially as "Santé mentale, la revue," is a French independent publishing and professional events company headquartered at 60 Rue Saint-Lazare in Paris (SIRET 404 328 486, share capital €38,000). Founded in 1995 as a specialist trade publication, the company now operates as a 14-employee privately held SAS with no disclosed parent, external investors, or M&A activity. Its core activity centers on serving the French psychiatric care ecosystem — primarily psychiatric nurses, psychologists, healthcare executives, peer-support workers, and trainees — with information, training, and peer-exchange formats.

The product surface comprises four interlocking lines: (1) a monthly print/digital trade journal, "Santé mentale, la revue," targeted at multidisciplinary psychiatric teams; (2) the annual Rencontres Soignantes en Psychiatrie (RSP) conference, run for 12 consecutive editions since 2015 and most recently staged at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris; (3) Qualiopi-certified continuing-education programs operated under the "Santé mentale formation" brand (certification N° 2021/96462.2); and (4) supporting content channels including a newsletter and an active multi-platform social presence (Facebook, X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, YouTube). Revenue mechanics rest on tiered conference registration (€330 institutions, €290 individuals, €130 students, with group rates for 5+ agents from the same establishment), recurring journal and newsletter subscriptions, paid training programs, and event/pharma sponsorship from partners including Idorsia, Otsuka, Lundbeck, GHU Paris, and Editions Eres. The 2025 RSP cycle delivered 789 trained participants with a satisfaction score of 8.9/10, indicating stable demand within a defined French-language niche.

Strategically, the company is a stable, single-country niche operator with no disclosed funding events, acquisitions, geographic expansion beyond France, or senior AI/technology hires. Its forward motion has been incremental — adding the Qualiopi training arm (2021), expanding digital content distribution, and productizing a serious-game format that won the 2025 Prix du Jury at the Pépites de l'Association hospitalière Sainte-Marie — rather than transformational.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• APM News / APM Santé: French health news and intelligence service covering healthcare institutions, including psychiatric care — competes for French healthcare professional attention and institutional sponsorship budgets.
• ASH (Actualités Sociales Hebdomadaires): Weekly French publication for social and medico-social sector professionals, including psychiatric and healthcare institutions — competes for the same institutional readership and advertising budgets.
• L'Information Psychiatrique: Long-running French-language psychiatric journal publishing clinical and theoretical content for mental health professionals — a direct editorial competitor in the French psychiatric publishing market.
• Soins / Soins Psy (Elsevier Masson): Elsevier Masson's nursing journals including Soins Psy directly target psychiatric nursing teams in France with monthly editorial and CE content — the closest direct competitor to the Santé mentale journal.
• Editions Eres: French publisher specializing in mental health, psychoanalysis, and psychiatric care books and journals. Already a partner/sponsor of RSP, it competes in the same French psychiatric publishing and continuing-education niche.

Broad incumbents

• Wolters Kluwer Health (Lippincott): Global medical publisher and CE provider with psychiatric nursing and clinical content; a broad incumbent whose offerings overlap with RSP's audience but at international scale.
• Springer Healthcare: Medical education and publishing arm of Springer Nature delivering CME/CE programs and journals across therapeutic areas including psychiatry — broad incumbent in the same category.
• Elsevier / RELX: Global medical and scientific publisher with extensive psychiatric and mental-health journal portfolio — competes indirectly via digital CE platforms and broader nursing content (Elsevier Masson).

Others

• ANFH (Association Nationale pour la Formation du personnel Hospitalier): French national association that funds and coordinates continuing education for hospital staff, including psychiatric personnel. They are an ecosystem enabler (potential OPCO-style partner and competitor for institutional training budgets).
• Cairn.info: Major French-language academic publishing platform hosting scholarly journals in psychology and psychiatry — an enabling/distribution layer that could either partner with or substitute for Santé mentale's journal distribution.
