The Parental Center, An Early Prevention Area Protecting the Emotional Bonds of the Father-Mother-Baby Triad

A parental center is a scheme aimed at accommodating the baby with both parents in the context of child protection. Since the Law of 14 March, 2016 on the protection of children, the Code of Social Action and Families (French legislation) it has been recognized by a new article L 222-53. Admission to the parental center is usually made at the request of young parents oriented by maternity, social or educational services. It is based on their desire to found a family, within which the parents can take care of their child together and provide for its protection.

The context of the parental center makes it possible to associate an accompaniment of parenthood and conjugality. It helps prevent domestic violence that often has devastating effects on children. Support in the parental center encourages the stabilization of the families' journey both materially and emotionally, which has a strong impact on the fate and well-being of children.
