The structure has set up shop on Rue des Coquelicots to accommodate children and teenagers with various learning disabilities.

This new school year is marked by the opening of the new premises of the Mimi Jolie association. A beautiful, spacious and tastefully furnished house on a street aptly named "Rue des Coquelicots", in the Fleurs district. The house is surrounded by a wooded area suitable for a future educational garden.

The association can welcome in a more friendly way its traditional audience of children and teenagers with learning disabilities with barbaric acronyms; DYS, ADHD and HPI – HPE for workshops or meetings with professionals in psychopedagogy, kinesiology and sophrology.

It also addresses children who have dropped out of school or who suffer from "school phobia" to help them regain their self-confidence, flourish and re-socialise.

But beyond these activities carried out since 2018, Maison Mimi Jolie is implementing two new features: welcoming teenagers and actions aimed at parents.

By welcoming teenagers aged 18 to 25, Maison Mimi Jolie is responding to a recurring demand from families and young people who feel neglected. The new premises, in addition to listening and advice, make it possible to add to kinesiology and sociology, a shiatsu activity, close to Chinese medicine.

But the greatest pride of Brigitte Viguier, director of the Maison Mimi Joli is "to be able to open up to families, to offer them times of listening and conviviality, but also of exchanges and activities allowing them to break the isolation. The ideal would be for parents to then get involved as volunteers in the association."
