ÉTABLISSEMENT PUBLIC DE SANTE MENTALE (EPSM CAEN)

The EPSM Caen website presents a psychiatric hospital located in the city of Caen. Formerly known as the Bon Sauveur, it was transformed into a psychiatric hospital in the 19th century by the Congrégation des Filles du Bon Sauveur. It is housed in a former convent. It offers emergency psychiatric services. EPSM Caen's address is 15 ter Rue Saint-Ouen, 14000 Caen. The establishment was founded in 1720 and has been open since then. In addition to its medical services, EPSM Caen is also involved in outreach activities. A book entitled "Un genou à terre, un homme debout" ("One knee down, one man up") has been written by adult patients from the Day Hospital of the Caen Est Pole of the EPSM Caen to explain mental illness to children.
