MEITIS

The “Artisans du Social” specializing in the care of children who are said to be complex or disabled.
SCOP MEITIS is part of national public policy on child prevention and protection. It works for social and human innovation in the service of children in difficulty under the child welfare system.
It was founded in 2013 by Thomas Demière and Mohamed Sami. Drawing on their years of experience as managers in specialized prevention, and directors of social and medico-social establishments, Thomas Demière and Mohamed Sami have given priority to the good of children, to their human dignity in supporting their journey through life and access to rights.
Driven by a genuine quality policy backed by the ISO approach, SCOP MEITIS, with its multidisciplinary team, offers players in the child welfare and disability sectors an individualized approach to the care of minors up to the age of majority, and stability for young people after successive failures.
A strong commitment to inclusion and the fight against all forms of discrimination is reflected in our involvement with complex cases and young people with disabilities, and in our ability to help these “extraordinary” young people evolve in a safe, serene environment.
The children are cared for in a family environment at the heart of Home Meitis’s living and care facilities, and Nehemie’s alternative places of residence. SCOP MEITIS provides ongoing training in the medical-social professions via Meitis formation. SCOP MEITIS also innovates by developing an engineering service for the social sector called Intraneos Synergie.
