Anaap

ANAAP, the Association Neuchâteloise d'Accueil et d'Action Psychiatrique, is dedicated to supporting individuals facing psychological or social challenges and their families. With a mission to welcome, advise, and accompany, ANAAP provides accessible, no-appointment-needed spaces for sharing and solidarity in the Neuchâtel region. They organize a variety of activities, including community meals, cultural afternoons, workshops, outings, and exhibitions, all aimed at fostering connections and learning new skills—from IT to art.

In addition to these community-driven efforts, ANAAP offers individual psychological and social support, promoting peer-led groups for shared experiences and coping strategies. The association is also committed to raising awareness around mental health issues through conferences, informational stands, and a biennial congress. Furthermore, ANAAP advocates for the rights of those impacted by mental health conditions, actively participating in local commissions to represent their interests. With three welcoming locations in Neuchâtel, La Chaux-de-Fonds, and Fleurier, ANAAP is a beacon of hope and assistance for those in need.
