From October 5th to 18th, 2026, Charente will host the Mental Health Information Weeks (SISM) 2026, an edition dedicated to the links between art and mental well-being.

More than twenty events are planned across the department, including shows, exhibitions, workshops, film debates, meetings, open houses, artistic performances, and prevention actions. The aim is to create spaces for expression, encounter, and reflection, while also helping to change perceptions surrounding mental health.
This initiative is the result of a collective mobilization of numerous partners, associations, professionals, artists, local authorities, and stakeholders, working alongside the Centre Hospitalier Camille Claudel (CHCC). Their involvement is crucial for the success of this new edition.
Among the highlights, the College of Psychologists of the CHCC is organizing a day of conferences, debates, and artistic performances on October 6th at the Théâtre On Stage in L’Isle-d’Espagnac, centered on the SISM theme.
The complete SISM 2026 program is available online. CHCC professionals are invited to actively participate.
