WHO WE ARE

Health Wise Paris is a volunteer, non-profit, English-speaking organization created to assist Anglophones of all nationalities as they learn to navigate the French health care system.

Health Wise Paris membership is open to health care professionals as well as to the general public.

Our Professional Members: A Model of Interdisciplinary Cooperation and Exchange

Our professional members are: doctors, nurses, counselors & family therapists, nutritionists, personal trainers, naturopaths, Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais teachers, sophrologists, hypnotherapists, and energy practitioners.

WHAT WE DO

Our Mission is to become the number one resource for health and well-being information in the Paris Anglophone community by:

Promoting Professional Development and the Exchange of Ideas between our health and well-being professionals in all disciplines and nationalities via formal and informal meetings where they can share information and meet other professionals.

Providing Community Service through our health education program and other services:

First Aid & CPR Workshops (temporarily on hold as we restructure this program. In the meantime, please contact us if you'd like to arrange for a private CPR/First Aid facilitator to work with your group.)

Monthly Evening Seminars by guest speakers on a variety of health topics, such as: Emergencies, Eating Disorders, Parenting Difficult Children, Fitness in Paris, Traveling with Kids, Energy Healing Adult A.D.D., and Breast Cancer.

Publications aimed at demystifying the French Health Care system and helping you become a smarter patient. Look for Health Wise Paris: An Anglophone's Pocket Guide to Health Resources in Paris - coming soon!

Counselor & Therapist Referral Service provides assistance to the English-speaking community in Paris to navigate the public and private mental health resources that are available, including a list of Health Wise Paris members by mental health specialty.

WHAT'S IN THE WORKS

Health Wise Paris is in a growth period, so please bear with us during the next few months as we work behind the scenes to:

Expand our website and bring you more timely and helpful information. Soon you’ll be able to log on and consult a section on mental health, one on alternative approaches, download articles, and read our blog for tips like how to navigate the French health care system and how to de-stress.

Organize exciting activities such as our informative health-related seminars, as well as a range of daytime activities, such as yoga or pilates classes or other health-related excursions. Please contact us to suggest a topic, activity, or speaker, or to be put on our mailing list.

We’ll be unveiling more ideas and programs soon, so bookmark this page and visit often!
