When personal development mixes with sport!
LE FIVE Bordeaux is pleased to be able to welcome L’IMP Saint-Joseph to its premises, as part of a solidarity convention. We are proud to be able to contribute to the development of these young people.
The IMP Saint-Joseph (Medico-pedagogical Institute) is a structure which welcomes 70 young people, aged 6 to 13, with intellectual disabilities and personality disorders.
The support provided by this institute tends to promote the development of young people and their autonomy in daily, social and professional life. The IMP applies fundamental principles such as inclusion, the power to act, citizenship, diversification of places and modes of support and puts them into practice in a confident and caring context. Thus, education, instruction, care, culture and sport are privileged. Everything that allows the construction of the human being as a whole.
According to the facilitators, the impact of these sessions is already starting to be felt! Thanks to the padel sessions, these young people develop resistance to stress, anxiety and depression. This practice also allows them to increase their level of self-esteem, and therefore improve their mental health.
We would like to thank IMP Saint-Joseph for their trust! Special mention to Anthony Garida and the entire team for their availability and their investment in these children.
