Abstract:
Imagine a dream where ocean waves become allies for the caregiver. This vision took shape in a project begun in 2020 at the Clinique de l'Odet, the addictology department of the public mental health establishment in South Finistère: surf therapy as a tool for addictology care, the ocean as an ecological framework for rehabilitation. In this exceptional adventure, the dream of a care team to support patients' recovery through surfing has become a reality, where every wave is a step towards freedom; every take-off a victory on the road to recovery.
