Our Journey and Core Mission

Since its founding in the early 2000s, UNAPEI 92 has grown from a small local support group into a recognized leader in advocating for inclusion and community support in the Hauts-de-Seine region. Our mission is to support families, promote social participation, and uphold the rights of individuals with intellectual disabilities, fostering a society where everyone can thrive.

At UNAPEI 92 – UNAPEI HAUTS-DE-SEINE, we are dedicated to advocating for the rights, well-being, and inclusion of children and adults with intellectual disabilities and their families. Since our founding, our association has focused on providing moral and material support to empower individuals and their families, strengthen solidarity, and foster meaningful participation in society.

We recognize that individuals with intellectual disabilities often face social, educational, and professional barriers that limit their opportunities. UNAPEI 92 was established to address these challenges through advocacy, support programs, and community engagement. Our work ensures that people with intellectual disabilities can access resources, develop their abilities, and participate fully in all aspects of community life. By combining guidance, care, and empowerment, we create environments that promote personal growth, dignity, and social inclusion.

Our Mission

The mission of UNAPEI 92 is to defend the rights of individuals with intellectual disabilities and support their families by providing access to resources, guidance, and opportunities that foster personal development, social inclusion, and well-being. We aim to create a society where individuals with disabilities are recognized for their abilities, empowered to reach their potential, and supported in living fulfilling lives. Through advocacy, moral and material assistance, and community programs, we help individuals and families overcome challenges and actively participate in society.

Our Vision

Our vision is a society in which all children and adults with intellectual disabilities are fully included, respected, and provided with equal opportunities to develop their skills, achieve autonomy, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. UNAPEI 92 aspires to be a leading advocate and support network, recognized for fostering inclusion, solidarity, and empowerment. By collaborating with families, authorities, and community partners, we envision a future where intellectual disabilities are met with understanding, support, and opportunity rather than barriers and exclusion.

Our Values

Our work is guided by a set of core values that shape our programs, advocacy, and interactions:

  1. Respect and Dignity
    Every individual deserves to be treated with respect and valued for their unique abilities. We prioritize creating inclusive environments where all voices are heard and recognized.

  2. Empowerment and Autonomy
    We focus on equipping individuals with intellectual disabilities with the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

  3. Solidarity and Family Support
    Strong family networks are essential for well-being. We foster solidarity among families and provide support to help them navigate challenges, access resources, and advocate for their loved ones.

  4. Inclusion and Equality
    We believe that all individuals, regardless of disability, should have equitable access to education, employment, social programs, and community participation.

  5. Collaboration and Partnership
    Effective advocacy and support require teamwork. We collaborate with families, public authorities, organizations, and community partners to develop and implement impactful programs.

  6. Integrity and Compassion
    Honesty, empathy, and ethical conduct guide our interactions. We ensure that individuals and families receive care, support, and advocacy in a trustworthy and compassionate manner.
