Specialized in supporting young people in difficulty and their families, the 5 services comprising the Saint-Jean-de-Dieu Education Institute are accredited and subsidized by the French Community of Belgium.

Their interventions are exclusively based on mandates from Youth Aid Counselors or Directors of Youth Protection in the Judicial District of Namur.

Their mission is to accompany young people on the path leading to adulthood, to promote changes that will enable them to acquire characteristics typical of adults (personal fulfillment, autonomy, etc.), and to encourage and support constructive family relationships.

Intervening with the families of young people is justified by this mission.
