Thinking about the future and building a project for life after their time in care proves to be an arduous task for adolescents who have spent several years in a psychiatric day hospital. This process is complex due to a multitude of intertwining factors. How are they to form a project for the future? The mechanism at the day hospital where we intervened with the aim of helping the young people there with this task has evolved progressively. A discussion group invaded by Thanatos has been replaced by an Internet workgroup, which, by wooing Eros, opens up the possibilities of instinctual binding. We ask the question as to whether we succeeded in supporting and containing the emergence of adolescent vitality by following the path of adolescent virtuality and by making use of the virtuality of this digital mediation. We will present the journey of a group of adolescents which made it possible to reconsider the arrangements proposed for accompanying them at the time of their release, while trying to elucidate the specificity of a mediation using a virtual support.
