Municipality of Opsterland: applying for youth care for your child

Please note: you can only apply for youth support if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.

Do you wish to apply for youth support for your child? The municipality works with an Ouder- en Kindteam (Parent and Child Team) [enter other name if applicable, e.g. Wijkteam (Neighbourhood Team) or Centrum jeugd en gezin (Youth and Family Centre)]. You can go to a Parent and Child Team [or enter other name] for help and advice. You will discuss together what kind of care you need.

Contracted care providers

You can make use of the care purchased by the municipality. To do so, you need a referral from the Parent and Child Team, your GP, a certified institution or a medical specialist, such as a paediatrician. 

Would you prefer a personal budget?

Do you think that this care is not sufficient? Or do you need a different type of care for your child? Then you can apply for a personal budget [link to personal budget page].
