"Access to Health" Action
at ACPM Marseille
Since 2020, choreographers and dance therapists Fabio Dolce and Antonino Ceresia (Cie Essevesse) have led a module within the Access to Health program, organized by ACPM in Marseille.
This initiative is designed for adults receiving RSA (Revenu de Solidarité Active) who, upon referral by a social worker, doctor, or nurse, are invited to participate in a health education program organized by ACPM.
Context of the Access to Health Program
The program targets individuals facing health issues that hinder their social and professional integration.
It runs for 11 months (January to November), with sessions held 2 to 3 half-days per week, serving 90 beneficiaries.
Program Structure
- One mandatory collective half-day (3.5 hours) focused on health education (prevention, lifestyle, pathologies, support systems, etc.).
- One or two optional well-being workshops (visual arts, socio-aesthetics, relaxation, DIY, walking, cooking, etc.), tailored to individual needs.
- Individual sessions with a health educator and psychologist.
Global Objectives
- Help participants rethink their perception of illness to engage in care without fear or shame.
- Strengthen psychosocial skills (self-esteem, autonomy, personal projects).
- Encourage commitment to health, social, and/or professional integration.
- Provide personalized, reliable support, ensuring tailored progress and follow-up.
Workshops are held at 15 rue Marc Donadille, 13013 Marseille, accessible by metro or bus, with accommodations for reduced mobility.

Boosting Self-Esteem
Through creative movement and relaxation, foster confidence, self-efficacy, and emotional well-being.
Developing Psychosocial Skills
Encourage non-verbal communication, self-awareness, personal expression, and group cohesion.
Supporting Autonomy and Projection
Provide a safe space to explore creativity, stimulate group dynamics, and inspire personal or social projects.
Showcasing Progress
