Abstract
Recent public mental health policies on psychotrauma call for the development of research and information aimed at the general public, as well as the creation of new tools to improve the assessment and care of people suffering from the impact of traumatic events. There are also recommendations that these aspects be broken down according to age group (child and adolescent/adult) and conditions of exposure to the traumatic event (simple/complex). The establishment of the psychotherapies, psychotrauma and resilience unit (U2PR) at the university hospital service for child and adolescent psychiatry (SHUPEA) in Brest, France, is based on an experimental approach to treating complex psychotrauma in children and adolescents, focusing on three recommended areas (care, prevention, research). This article sets out its foundations, with the aim of contributing to exchanges with other professionals and services involved in supporting children and adolescents in distress. It describes the project's internal workings, its links with care partners in the departmental medical-social network, the socio-political motives behind the project, the reflections arising from group work, and the theoretical-clinical basis that strategically structures the implementation of its axes.
