INSTITUT NATIONAL DE PSYCHIATRIE LÉGALE PHILIPPE-PINEL

Published purpose

Over a three-year period, Institut national de psychiatrie légale Philippe-Pinel will conduct a research project to assess the impact of a mindfulness meditation program on adolescent youth in conflict with the law who receive treatment in forensic psychiatry. This project will explore the perceptions of participants. In total, the program will be offered to approximately 60 youth over the three years. The vast majority of these young people have committed an offense, are under the court mandate and have serious mental health problems. The research results will then be shared for knowledge and training purposes with stakeholders and professionals working with this clientele
