APASE 35

What APASE 35 does

APASE 35 (Association Pour l'Action Sociale et Educative – APASE – Association for Social and Educational Action) is a French non-profit association constituted under loi 1901 and founded in 1970 as ADTPS by CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales) and MSA (Mutualité Sociale Agricole), renamed APASE in 1973 to broaden its intervention scope. Headquartered at 33 rue des Landelles, 35510 Cesson-Sévigné, in the Ille-et-Vilaine department of Brittany, the association operates three statutory service pillars: child protection (educational measures in open settings – AEMO, personalised educational measures – MEP, family budget management – AGBF, contractual educational evaluation – EEC, and parent–child meeting spaces – EREP, or Espace Rencontre Enfants-Parents); legal protection of vulnerable adults (curatorship, reinforced curatorship, tutelle/guardianship, sauvegarde de justice, judicial accompaniment measures); and social and medico-social support for adults with disabilities or mental health challenges (SAVS at Altaïr in Rennes and L'Estran in Saint-Malo, MASP, family'accueil/Accueil familial, and the socioprofessional inclusion programme PEM'S – Parcours En Mouvement'S). Services are delivered through 7 territorial antennas across the department (Cesson-Sévigné HQ, two Rennes sites including the Blosne district facility opened 12 June 2023, Saint-Malo, Fougères, Redon, Vitré) by approximately 400 salaried staff, serving a beneficiary base that includes children at risk and their families, protected adults, and adults with disabilities or psychological difficulties — for example, ~450 persons are served annually by the medico-social services alone.

The association operates a not-for-profit, publicly-funded, court-and-council-mandated business model. It charges no fees to beneficiaries; services are delivered either under court-ordered protective measures or through contractual conventions with public authorities. Revenue is sourced principally from French public funders: the Conseil Départemental d'Ille-et-Vilaine provides 63% of the budget, the Direction de la Cohésion Sociale 26%, the Caisse d'Allocations Familiales 3%, and the Ministry of Justice 0.1%, with a marginal EU co-financing via the FSE+ programme for PEM'S. The association holds the regulatory authorisations (habilitations) required to operate each service line and is governed by a 19-member volunteer Board of Directors chaired by Philippe Nicolle, with operational leadership by Director General Catherine Jakubiec and a Bureau including 1st Vice-President Fabienne Gadoud-Havard, 2nd Vice-President Pierrick Sorgniard, Secretary Thérèse Ollivaux, and Treasurer Marie-Christine Millet. There is no proprietary software platform; service delivery is grounded in case-management practice by social-work professionals, supported by standard information systems appropriate for a French public-funded association.

Strategically, APASE has grown over five decades through progressive service expansion and three documented mergers (Service Social Spécialisé in 1991, SAVS rennais l'APPARTH in 2013, and Fil Rouge activities integrated in 2018), with antenna opening completing the seven-site footprint by 2011. The April 2026 transition from antenna-based to activity-based management — establishing a Resources direction and harmonising practices across activities — represents the most recent operational pivot. The association is structurally embedded in the French social-protection ecosystem, holding governance positions at FNAT (national tutelary federation), UDAF 35 (treasurer role), Collectif Handicap 35, Santé Mentale France Bretagne, and URIOPSS Bretagne, and operating joint coordination groups (GCSMS) with the Centre Hospitalier Guillaume Régnier for mental health and via the 'Un chez soi d'abord' cooperation for housing access. It also runs MJPM (Mandataire Judiciaire à la Protection des Majeurs) training partnerships with Askoria and the Université de Rennes law faculty.
