Listen, ensure confidentiality, and accept the person just as they are.

In Paris’s community centers, there are many people of foreign nationality or French citizens of foreign origin. They come primarily to learn French. For Martine Trapon, rather than focusing on the religious aspect, it is an ethic of hospitality that prevails: welcoming people without discrimination, “for who they are.” It is the trust that is built that allows the group to address many of the issues that concern them, including those related to health. It is trust and confidentiality that also allow the group to function as a safe space.
