The Département de la femme, de l'enfant et de l'adolescent has the mission of offering quality care adapted to the needs of women at each stage of their lives and to the health problems faced by newborns, children, and female and male adolescents from birth until the age of 16. It works towards the development of cutting-edge services and specialized competence centers. The Service de psychiatrie de l'enfant et de l'adolescent (SPEA) is responsible for the hospital or outpatient care of children and female and male adolescents suffering from mental disorders. The teams work in multidisciplinary collaboration in a university environment offering many possibilities for undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing education. The Maison de l’enfance et de l’Adolescence, which brings together all the activities of the SPEA, allows for the response to the current public health policy of the "1000 first days", within the Guidance Petite Enfance unit. This unit brings together different modalities of intervention with families and their children from birth to 4 years: liaison activity, outpatient activity, and intensive outpatient activity. This team develops a collaboration with structures of the official youth foundation taking care of parents and their babies in situations of great vulnerability. This collaboration allows for the maintenance of continuity and coherence in the journey of these families at the time of their discharge from the HUG towards these structures.
