Jeunes Violences Écoute is a scheme for young people, parents and professionals facing situations of violence, set up in 2000 by the Ile-de-France Region and entrusted to the Ecole des Parents et des Educateurs d’Ile-de-France (www.epe-idf.com). It includes a telephone hotline (0 808 807 700), a website (www.jeunesviolencesecoute.fr) and activities in high schools. Listeners-psychologists and listeners-lawyers ensure the implementation of the device.
