Les accompagnateurs lors des RDV, une présence importante
Accompanying persons at appointments, an important presence
If I think about my journey since I arrived in France, the first thing I would advise someone arriving today would be to try to find people to accompany them to their various appointments. For me, it’s changed everything!
Having someone helping me, physically present at my meetings with the institutions, translating the forms I was given and explaining to me how to proceed really changed my perspective and my mind: I could finally see where I was going, I could see doors opening to my future in this country, rather than feeling crushed by the mountain I was being asked to climb.
