Réseau santé Kirikou

What Réseau santé Kirikou does

Réseau Santé Kirikou is a non-profit intersectoral mental health network based in Bouge, province of Namur, Belgium. It is the officially designated entity implementing the Walloon child and adolescent mental health policy for the 0-23 age cohort across all 38 communes of Namur province. The network operates as a coordination platform rather than a clinical provider, federating over 100 partner organizations across mental health, youth aid, general hospitals, AVIQ, and ONE to deliver integrated care pathways that no single sector could provide alone.

Its core service portfolio includes PSYNAM (first-line psychological consultations funded by INAMI), L'@tribu mobile (multidisciplinary mobile teams intervening in living environments), RETIS (case management when prior coordination has failed), the TCA care pathway with EMAS support teams for eating disorders, crisis intervention devices, and Edu'sens for transition-age youth. Supporting programs include Immersion 0-23 (cross-sector professional learning placements), the Dispositif alcool-jeune (substance use support for under-30s), TANGRAM (therapeutic group for intrafamilial sexual violence victims), and youth participation training. The technology layer is fundamentally human-coordination-driven rather than software-driven, with no proprietary AI/ML or digital platform documented.

The business model is 100% publicly funded through Belgian national health insurance (INAMI conventions), the federal public health service (SPF Santé), the Walloon health agency (AVIQ), and federal subsidies. There is no commercial revenue line; services are reimbursed or grant-funded, and care recipients do not pay directly for most network-coordinated services. The organization is governed by a Committee of Network members coordinated by Mr. Jean-Philippe Mathy, with Mr. François Rassart as president of the network committee bureau.
