As part of the Regional Health Project, Occitanie plans the progressive expansion of 'Pôles Partenaires Aidants' (PPA) across its departments. These initiatives aim to unite local stakeholders – associations, institutions, professionals, and caregivers themselves – to provide enhanced support for those caring for loved ones.
The main objectives of the PPAs include supporting caregivers' overall well-being, increasing the visibility of existing services, strengthening coordination among stakeholders, and identifying caregiver needs to co-create tailored solutions. These hubs will cover the entire territory of Aude and Tarn, serving all caregivers, regardless of the age or condition of the person being cared for.
Selected project leaders will receive support from the Regional Caregiver Mission, managed by APAS 82, for the implementation and deployment of the initiative. Funding of €30,000 per year per hub will be provided through the Regional Intervention Fund (FIR), covering costs for animation, travel, and logistics.
A three-year financing agreement will be concluded between the ARS Occitanie and each selected applicant. The initiatives are expected to be operational from December 1, 2026. Application documents are available for download on the ARS Occitanie website and must be submitted electronically.
