Work is a very important part in the daily activities of the programme, and it has a triple function:

From one part, it has a therapeutic function. Most of young people admitted in our centres have lost their own respect or even they loose their wish for living. To learn a profession and going to assume responsibilities are contributing efficiently to recuperation for their self esteem, which is so important to start to fight for their future.
Since their admission in, the patient is starting to prepare himself to his society reinsertion. Work is not only giving him a necessary resource but furthermore it is an help for his character to get in disciplined habit of arriving in time, reaching goals, etc.

Because the Association has no more incomes (public or private subventions), profits from patients work, in addition to the donations from some firms or particular people, constitute the only source of financing to improve all its social labour. This fact is added to a larger sense of responsibility for the patient, but also a sense of "belonging to", because of feeling to form a part of a team fighting for the same common aim.
