Interventions in Preparatory Classes (CPGE)

Offering guidance to all

Aimed at students

Preparatory classes are known for their high standards as well as the stress they can put on their students. Our Prevention Teams intervenes regularly with these students through awareness workshops, especially during the back to school period. During these interventions students are given a booklet which aim is to help them cope with this particularly intense period of their lives. Throughout the year, our volunteers also give presentations among students to raise awareness.

Aimed at teachers

For CPGE professors, the Prevention Team offers a workshop on student mental health awareness, the objective of which is to provide knowledge and tools on how to help students deal with their difficulties and, on how to give them the best possible support. The Prevention Team also distributes a booklet to professors in order to guide them.

Aimed at medical staff

For the preparatory classes' medical staff, Nightline sets up group talks to analyse practices between different institutions. We also offer a toolkit of resources and practical exercises to help the medical staff accompany students through their various issues (stress, self-esteem, etc.). Last but not least, we help establish partnerships between schools and free external care structures nearby.
