Municipality of Enschede: applying for youth care for your child
NB. You can only apply for youth assistance if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
Would you like to apply for youth assistance for your child? The municipality offers help together with a Wijkwijzer or wijkteam. You can contact a Wijkwijzer for help and advice. You discuss together what care you need. For example, for problems growing up, a handicap or psychological complaints.
Healthcare providers with contract
You can use the care purchased by the municipality. For this you need a referral from, for example:
- The wijkteam
- The doctor
- A certified institution
- A medical specialist such as a paediatrician
You can contact a Wijkwijzer near you for more information. You can also call +31 53 481 79 00. Would you rather not identify yourself? Then go to Online Hulp on the SMD website (Dutch). You can ask your question anonymously here.
Apply for a personal budget
Do you think that the care offered by the municipality is not sufficient or suitable? Or do you need a different kind of care for your child? Then you can apply for a personal budget (pgb) (Dutch).
There are no costs for parents for youth care.
