Organized by the DGGN’s Office for Social Action, the Injured and the Disabled (BASBH), the national “Ad Refectio” courses aim, through sports and socio-cultural activities, to restore the confidence of the injured, to break the spiral of isolation and facilitate cohesion.
“Some trainees resume the practice of sport, many try new activities. They rediscover the taste for effort and the spirit of camaraderie »emphasizes Lieutenant Franck, project manager for the reconstruction of sports-injured people within the BASBH and organizer of the course.
During this stay, the soldiers and their families, who can join the trainees over the last three days, benefit from listening, advice and support from actors specialized in the care of the wounded, such as monitors specialized sports, clinical psychologists from the gendarmerie and physiotherapists.
