What l'accueil does

L’Accueil is a Gosselies-based Belgian ASBL non-profit child-protection center serving children aged 0–6 whose parents are temporarily unable to provide safe, developmentally appropriate care. Its integrated services are SASPE, which provides 24 residential places; AMJ, an intensive three-month multifamily day-care mandate that is renewable once; and SAC 064, which provides home support to 18 families with children aged 0–7 who have disabilities. Primary

Care delivery combines a multidisciplinary team with Snoezelen, a humanistic, non-directive multisensory therapy used across services since 2018. It is intended to help children regulate stress, reduce anxiety and behavioral difficulties, and develop internal security. Primary

As a non-profit, L’Accueil relies primarily on official subsidies from ONE, AVIQ, and Aide à la Jeunesse and supplements them with donations through the King Baudouin Foundation and direct transfers. Children and families are received through judicial and child-welfare mandates, with residential and day services delivered at the Gosselies facility and support delivered through home visits; the operating focus is Hainaut in Wallonia.
