With an employee of Stip Jeugd en Gezin. The family plan tells you what you can do and what your family members can do. And who of family, friends and neighbors can help to improve your situation. Together you carry out the plan.

• family plan (in Dutch)

Don't forget to review the family plan before your appointment

This way you are well prepared for the interview.

Does the implementation of the plan not improve your situation?

Then the employee can refer to an individual facility.

Your child will only receive an individual provision if there is no other option

The employee always first checks whether support in daily life (outpatient care) is sufficient. If not, your child may receive individual provision.

Your child will then need specialist help. The healthcare psychologist within Stip Jeugd en Gezin, the general practitioner, the youth doctor or a medical specialist can refer your child to a healthcare provider. For example, for youth mental health care or care with accommodation.

The Stip Jeugd en Gezin employee will include this in the family plan.

The services for youth and parenting help are free.
