As recently announced by Pap Ndiaye, Minister of National Education and Youth, and Bruno Bonnell, Secretary General for Investment, LISA France 2030 is the winner of the \u201cInnovation in schooling\u201d call for expressions of interest (AMI).\u201d<\/a> operated by Banque des Territoires<\/a> on behalf of the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By offering new, effective and reliable tools to better identify, understand and support students' needs, LISA project<\/a> (Learning, Integration, Support and Awareness)<\/em> responds to the urgent need for well-being and mental health in children and adolescents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The issue of mental health and well-being among young people is not new. But more precise assessments as well as the societal context (COVID-19 pandemic, eco-anxiety...), make its reality blatant and indisputable. Already in 2016, Mission bien-\u00eatre et sant\u00e9 des jeunes<\/a> estimated that one young person in five suffers from mental distress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, numerous assessments have confirmed the scale of the problem: a sharp increase in suicidal gestures and ideas (Sant\u00e9 publique France<\/a>, 2022) and the prevalence of certain mental disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), dyslexia-dysorthographia, mood (depression) or anxiety disorders (Enabee<\/a>, 2023)... An urgency recently - and on several occasions - highlighted by the Human rights defender<\/a> and the High Council for Families, Children and the Elderly<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impact of disorders affecting the well-being and mental health of a child or teenager can be extremely serious, not only for themselves, but also for those around them, their class, and their teachers.<\/strong> Indeed, these difficulties are associated with a lack of interest in school, failure or even dropping out, and can even lead to verbal or physical violence, towards oneself or others. Yet access to medical care is limited and uneven, and the lack of training, tools and effective methods for identifying and adapting to these problems means that teaching and educational staff, like families, often find themselves at a loss when faced with the difficulties of the young people concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The LISA France 2030 project aims to better understand, better identify and better collaborate in order to better support the well-being and mental health of students.<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Better understanding : via <\/em>the creation and implementation of a scalable, multi-channel training program on mental health for teachers and other members of the educational community.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Locating : via <\/em>the development and use of a digital platform to precisely identify each child's strengths and needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Working together more effectively : via <\/em>networking all the players involved (educators, clinicians, researchers, families, associations, local authorities, etc.), to encourage exchanges and facilitate referrals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Better support : via <\/em>the creation and curation of practical and effective online resources, precisely recommended according to the identified needs of each student.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          <\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Deployment in over 230 pilot sites. <\/strong>After a development phase within the\u2019Suger secondary school, Vaucresson<\/a> and school if\u00e9a \u00c9milie du Ch\u00e2telet, in Clichy-la-Garenne<\/a>, will gradually be extended to more than 230 pilot sites in the Ile-de-France academic region<\/a> (Academies of Cr\u00e9teil, Paris and Versailles), as well as to all Schools under the full responsibility of Mission la\u00efque fran\u00e7aise<\/a> to reach a total of over 80,000 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The LISA France 2030 project, led by if\u00e9a<\/a> and chaired by Elie Rotenberg (co-founder of LISA and if\u00e9a, member of the Learning Planet Institute Board of Directors<\/a>), was born out of a collaboration between stakeholders and experts in the field of childhood and education, all keen to provide answers whose effectiveness is based on evidence. It brings together a consortium <\/em>major players in education<\/strong> : if\u00e9a<\/a>, Suger High School<\/a>, Learning Planet Institute<\/a>, French Secular Mission<\/a>, Ile-de-France academic region<\/a> (see Appendix 1). This process is supervised by an ethical and scientific committee.<\/strong> (see appendix 2), made up of world-class experts and supported by strong partnerships with leading institutions<\/strong> (see Appendix 3). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          LISA France 2030 is intended to serve as a pilot project to be extended to other schools and academies in France, but also - with the support of its partners - internationally.<\/em><\/p>\nElie Rotenberg<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
