Following the attacks committed in France in 2015 and 2016, the President of the Republic François Hollande commissioned Juliette Méadel, Secretary of State in charge of aid to victims, to submit "proposals for the creation of a resource and resilience center." Psychological injuries are becoming a major public health issue that concerns not only victims of terrorist acts but all victims of violence.
Who are we?
Our history
Françoise Rudetzki, who passed away in May 2022, was entrusted with the task of prefiguring this center. A victim of an attack in 1983, she is known for her militant and committed career. She founded the association "SOS attentats" which worked for the recognition and the taking in charge by the State of the victims of acts of terrorism. She has initiated several important measures for victims of terrorism, including the creation of the Victims' Guarantee Fund.

Our mission
Dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder
Despite the scientific recognition of post-traumatic disorders and their consequences, they remain under-identified by the people concerned and by professionals. The diversity of post-traumatic disorders and the presence of other disorders can complicate their identification. Psychological injuries also suffer from stigmatization and the person concerned is sometimes unable to talk about the event that caused the disorder or does not associate the difficulties he or she is experiencing with the event.
The Cn2r provides the necessary resources to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other post-traumatic disorders and to enable citizens, communities and society as a whole to maintain or regain well-being and a satisfactory quality of life after a traumatic event.
The resources made available help to understand and deal with these disorders and their consequences on daily life (private, social, professional or school life, etc.) as well as on the community. They also offer appropriate health, social and legal support.
Through the development and sharing of scientific and experiential knowledge, the Cn2r :
Raise awareness
the public about the manifestations of post-traumatic stress disorder, its consequences, and ways to protect and rebuild themselves.
Strengthens
the skills of all to improve the identification of post-traumatic stress disorder, its prevention and the quality of health, social and legal support.
Federated
the actors involved in the various stages of post-traumatic reconstruction in order to ensure that all persons concerned receive seamless support that meets all their needs.
