Question 15253 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Pauline Cestrières draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the need to structure peer assistance in the field of autism and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) as a sustainable social investment and not as an additional burden on public finances. Based on the sharing of lived experience of the disorder, diagnosis and journey support, peer assistance constitutes a lever for autonomy, confidence and prevention of career disruptions. It gives a voice back to those who have experienced the disorder from within, recreates a bond of understanding and trust between peers and professionals and gives meaning to support. The experiences carried out within numerous structures, such as mutual aid groups (GEM) and associations of field, show, particularly in its department of Aveyron, that the presence of peer helpers improves team dynamics, calms relationships and reduces situations of crisis, isolation or re-hospitalization. These effects, already well documented, reflect a more human, more efficient and economically virtuous approach to support. The National Autism and TND Strategy 2023-2027 explicitly mentions, in its commitment no. 5 “Supporting adolescents and adults”, the desire to support peer assistance and autonomy. However, the operational implementation of this commitment remains to be clarified and structured on the ground. In this context, he questions him on the means envisaged to give peer assistance a clear framework for recognition and deployment and to support training, professionalization and recognition. status of peer helpers, in partnership with associations, GEMs and, more broadly, all medico-social actors.
