How can we make welcoming someone a genuine act of care? And care an act of welcoming?
In a world marked by exile and migration, how does mental health care adapt to diversity? When faced with distress, traditional Western frameworks reveal their limitations and require us to open our minds and practices to the uniqueness of others.
This event aims to explore the boundaries of otherness, vulnerability, and sharing in the context of mental health. What role does cultural diversity play in the treatment of mental health disorders today? How can we provide care without being overbearing?
Featuring Marie-Rose Moro (psychiatrist and department head at Maison de Solenn, the adolescent care center at Cochin Hospital) and Mamari (comedian).
A discussion moderated by Rokhaya Diallo.
In conclusion: sound sketches by Tolten (artist and psychologist).
To wrap up this event, Thomas Rime (Tolten) presents a slam poetry performance featuring text written on the spot, much like a sketch. He captures the essence of what is being said, adding a touch of irreverence, a bit of quirkiness, and a dash of poetry and humor. It’s a delicate balancing act, bordering on improvisation—a sort of slam reportage or slam analysis.

Mamari Munezero, stand-up comedian and columnist for "La Dernière" on Radio Nova
Mamari © Linda Trime @adlin_mirte A stand-up comedian, columnist for “La Dernière” on Radio Nova, and above all, a lover of lemon slushies, Mamari Munezero stands out for her ability to make people laugh about complex topics. She blends her personal experiences, her background as a clinical research associate, and her cartoonish personality to deliver humor that’s authentic, direct, and mischievous. It’s an irresistible combination: she was named by Elle magazine as one of the five women who will be changing the economy and society by 2025, fills theaters with her show *Too Funny to Die*, and is part of season 15 of the Jamel Comedy Club.
She uses her eloquence to champion causes that are close to her heart: mental health, disability, the fight against incest, and queerness.

When Trauma Is Passed Down
Feeling Good in My Head #3
A time for discussion to address traumatic memories.
The past never completely fades away; it seeps into the present, takes root in our bodies, and is passed down from generation to generation. How do wounds—whether personal, familial, or systemic—endure over time? How can we break the cycle of trauma? This event aims to explore traumatic memory from both an individual and a societal perspective. When we talk about mental health and interculturality, isn’t this also connected to how we come to terms with our collective history—a history marked...
