Abstract

The psychosocial rehabilitation referral unit in Seine-Saint-Denis uses sailing as a non-medicinal therapy. This mediation offers unique opportunities for patient engagement and rehabilitation. Over three years, the program has evolved from recreational outings to skills-based training and participation in regattas. Multidimensional benefits include physical coordination, cognitive stimulation, social interaction and empowerment.

Keywords: activité thérapeutique; psychiatrie; psychiatry; psychosocial rehabilitation; réhabilitation psycho-sociale; sailing; therapeutic activity; voile.
