The missions of the mobile psychiatric team in Lyon involve reaching out to vulnerable people to guide them towards the most appropriate care. Establishing a bond and finding the right words to engage with them constitute a balancing act which the caregiver must undertake with the homeless. It is important to try and understand the situation, the person's life story, invent alternatives, while refraining from pushing them too much, in order to maintain their trust.
