Project 4 Marseille

A Place of Respite

Le Lieu de Répit is committed to providing housing for people experiencing a mental health crisis, as an alternative to hospitalization. The goal of Le Lieu de Répit is to foster a positive group dynamic while paying close attention to individual needs. The organization works on several fronts:

  • Provide care in a non-medical setting;

  • Offer one-month housing contracts, renewable twice;

  • Offer rooms with flexible check-in and check-out times, staffed at all times

Project

The project involves: – repainting the walls on the ground floor and in the stairwells, – performing carpentry work (replacing glass doors and locks), – assembling furniture, – sprucing up the outdoor patio (including tree pruning). 15 volunteers needed
