publications's
Sin'RJ's first publications are coming soon.
Our thematic fact sheets are currently being co-developed within transdisciplinary working groups.
The first publications will be posted online starting in September 2026 and will be gradually expanded.
Sin'RJ has opted for a rigorous, scalable and transparent rolloutthat is closely aligned with the realities on the ground and the current state of knowledge.
Each fact sheet offers:
Accessible summary
Clear language
In-depth analysis
Scientific data
Contextualisation
Conditions, limitations, caution
Transdisciplinary
working groups
Each theme is led by a dedicated working group bringing together:
Professionals
from different fields
Scientific
researchers
People affected
and their loved ones
Our role:
- → analyse existing practices,
- → cross-reference knowledge,
- → document successes and limitations,
- → identify blind spots,
- → update content.
We do not produce standards or injunctions.
We create shared indicators.
Our five pilot themes
Pour To prevent disruption. Support progress. Avoid seclusion.
Early prevention & initial vulnerabilities
Act before the crisis.
Disruptions in life begin long before emergency situations arise. They develop slowly, often starting in childhood or adolescence, at the intersection of psychological, physical, social and environmental vulnerabilities that are not sufficiently identified or addressed.
Taking action here, before the crisis, where the levers are the most effective, human and the least costly for both individuals and society, means avoiding crisis, hospitalisation or prison becoming the automatic responses.
This theme covers in particular:
- • key psychosocial factors: precariousness, isolation, housing, school and family breakdown
- • population and community prevention
- • adolescence and the transition to adulthood as periods of major vulnerability
- • the identification and management of first psychotic episodes
- • mental health literacy and the ability to understand, name and seek help
- • an integrated mind-body approach, taking into account trauma and chronic stress
→ Investing here means taking action where everything can still be prevented in the long term.
Treatment without consent & alternatives to coercion
Reducing coercion without denying clinical complexity.
Coercive treatment permanently undermines the therapeutic process and alliance. It must remain the exception, never the norm.
Taking action here, means preventing a shift towards legal proceedings or confinement.
This theme explores:
- • de-escalation and crisis prevention
- • advance psychiatric directives
- • integrated peer support, respite facilities
- • models aimed at gradually rendering coercion obsolete
- • training for law enforcement officers
Peer support, families & psychoeducation
Recovery is never a solitary journey.
Loved ones and peers play a central role that is still not sufficiently recognised. Excluding them weakens the recovery process and fuels breakdowns
Taking action here, means strengthening continuity, meaning and trust.
This theme includes:
- • professional and informal peer support
- • recognition of experiential knowledge
- • psychoeducation for loved ones
- • expanded therapeutic alliance
Continuity of care: mental health, housing, employment
Care is not enough if life around you is falling apart.
Without housing, social rights or career prospects, recovery remains fragile. Recovery is also social, material and environmental.
Taking action here, means preventing relapses and social breakdown.
This theme links:
- • housing
- • socio-professional integration
- • coordination between stakeholders
- • prevention of social breakdown
Mental health & justice: preventing criminalisation
Prison should never be a response to illness.
When prevention and coordination fail, the justice system too often steps in by default.
Taking action here, means reversing a logic that has become structural.
This theme covers:
- → alternatives to incarceration
- → mental health in prisons
- → training for lawyers, magistrates and prison staff
- → continuity of care before, during and after legal proceedings
A cross-cutting approach
Sin'RJ's thematic fact sheets and working groups do not seek to impose a single model.
We create the conditions for: thinking together and Promoting sustainable recovery.
