Interventions
The group will be based on a systemic model and led by two child psychiatrists trained in family and multi-family therapy, who will not subsequently be involved in the data analysis. It will consist of 4 sessions of 1h30, spread over a period of 2 months, with a maximum of 8 participants per session. The first 3 sessions will be spaced 15 days apart, and the last session will take place 3 weeks apart from the third session. The characteristics of the group (frequency, duration, number of sessions and participants) were built on data from the literature as well as on clinical feedback from a first pilot group conducted in January and February 2024 on the Toulouse pediatric unit by the two therapists who will lead the groups during the study.
