FNOF Launches Anonymous Psychological Support for Opticians Following Urban Riots

The Fédération nationale des opticiens de France (FNOF) has established anonymous, free psychological support services for optical branch managers and employees affected by recent urban riots. Implemented in partnership with insurers AG2R La Mondiale and UniPrévoyance, the initiative addresses lasting trauma among both directly impacted and unaffected professionals. AG2R offers the "ECO" service via email or phone at 0 969 36 10 43, while UniPrévoyance provides 24/7 telephone assistance at 0 800 77 88 95. FNOF President Hugues Verdier-Davioud noted that visible consequences on staff may emerge weeks later, urging managers to monitor employee mental health despite tensions appearing to subside.
