From October 5 to 18, 2026, the Communauté de Communes du Genevois and Annemasse Agglo are celebrating the Mental Health Information Weeks (SISM) under the theme "For our mental health, let's open ourselves to the arts".

This free event aims to inform, exchange with professionals, and break down taboos surrounding mental health. It offers an immersion into the world of arts as a therapeutic and expressive tool.
The program includes workshops for young people at L’Etage in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, featuring therapeutic dance, art therapy, and forum theater. These activities are designed to explore the benefits of the arts on psychological well-being.
Information stands will also be available at local markets: on October 13 in Annemasse and on October 16 in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois. These meeting points will allow the public to get informed and engage with experts.
Furthermore, exhibitions of artworks will be held at the CCG, Annemasse Agglo, and the Médiathèque de Viry. These exhibitions will be accessible from October 5 to December 18, 2026, offering a visual perspective on the link between art and mental health.
