In response to the deleterious effects of the lack of access to mental healthcare for families in exile, transcultural care professionals have developed specific health-care settings that provide both psychological and social support. This article presents one of them, taking the form of workshops on the subject of parenting conducted in an asylum seekers’ residence (CADA in French). It presents the methodology used and theoretical references, including the use of cultural objects and the “gift of precious words”. These workshops enable the care professionals to co-construct genuine “transitional communities” with the families. Using a clinical vignette, the authors show that these workshops contribute to enabling families to weave multiple affiliations, and enabling children to resume their motor, emotional and social development, which is sometimes hampered or halted by the loss of ties brought about by disrespectful and dehumanizing treatments accompanying the trauma of exile.
