She then became a member of the CNPE (National Council for Child Protection) and chairs the “Child Health in Child Protection” commission.

The IM’PACTES non-profit association created by Prof.Gréco in 2022 aims to improve access to healthcare, education, and culture for children aged 0 to 25 who are victims ofviolence and are in the care of  Child Welfare Services, in order to offer them a professional future. In December 2025 she founded Asterya,the first French child support center in France-asomatic and mental health care facility for children who have experienced violence and are inthe care of Child Welfare Services. This marks a major step forward for these children, adolescents, and young adults aged 0 to 25, who until now had only a 10% chance of receiving care.
