About

REMEDRUGBY's objective is to strengthen the capacity of users to interact with others in an assertive way and to fight against stigma. It proposes to specifically target the processes of "social cognition".

"Social cognition" brings together the mental mechanisms that allow everyone to decipher the social situations, emotions and intentions of others and interact with others in the different contexts of everyday life.

People with a psychic handicap frequently have difficulties in this area, which has often important consequences for their social and professional integration.

The REMEDRUGBY program proposes to work specifically on these processes in the context of sport (+ role Play and blog) to strengthen the ability to interact with others and to deal with the stigma that can be encountered on a daily basis.
