The Hospitals Foundation establishes a major partnership with the e-Enfance/3018 Association, in order to draw on our expertise to strengthen psychological and psychiatric care for children and adolescents who are victims of digital violence and cyberbullying.
This partnership comes at a time when the digitisation of children's social and educational spaces has given rise to new challenges: digital literacy, cyberbullying, revenge porn, misinformation, exposure to offensive content, online scams and manipulation, etc.
The financial support from the Hospitals Foundation will enable the e-Enfance Association to’step up its prevention efforts and strengthen its response to the effects of digital violence (particularly cyberbullying) on young people's mental health. It will be able to handle a greater number of calls via 3018, the national number for young victims of digital violence and their parents. And, in a second phase, it will also implement a training programme for staff at Maisons des Adolescents (Teen Centres).
“We are grateful and proud to be working hand in hand with the Hospitals Foundation to combat the effects of digital violence on young people's mental health. Together, we will develop a response tailored to the growing needs of children and adolescents, their families and the professionals who support them.” says Justine Atlan, the Association's Chief Executive Officer.
