Municipality of Steenwijkerland: applying for youth care for your child

You can contact Sociaal Werk De Kop with questions about health, upbringing and development, and relationships. For specialized assistance, you can contact a consultant from the municipality.

Sociaal Werk De Kop

If you have questions about health, upbringing and development, relationships or sports and exercise, Sociaal Werk De Kop is here to help. Together with you and/or your child, they will assess what support is needed.

Municipal Consultants

Sometimes specialized help is necessary, such as for autism, ADHD, or a (mild) intellectual disability. In such cases, you can contact a municipal consultant. Together, you will create a support plan that outlines how to address the questions or problems, whether assistance is required, and what that assistance will entail.

Healthcare Providers and Personal Budget (Persoonsgebonden Budget - PGB)

Does your child require youth care, such as support for psychological issues, an intellectual disability, or parenting challenges? You can reach out to the healthcare providers with whom the municipality has agreements, referred to as 'care in kind'. However, if 'care in kind' is not the most suitable option, you might consider purchasing care for your child yourself. In this case, you will receive a personal budget for that purpose. If you want more information, you can contact the municipal consultants..
