Municipality of Valkenswaard: applying for youth care for your child
We provide help to children and parents who need it. Growing up and raising a child is not always easy. It is logical if you have questions about this. Or could use (temporary) support with this. We would be happy to discuss with you what is necessary and appropriate in your (family) situation. We look at what you can do independently and the possibilities in the area.
Take a look at: Assistance and activities that you can arrange independently
If additional help is needed, we will provide it through Youth Assistance. Some examples of this are:
- Support for parents in raising and growing their children
- Help for children with psychological complaints (and help for parents on how to deal with this)
- Broad (diagnostic) research
- Help for children (and their parents) with an intellectual disability
- Specialist youth care
- Daytime activities
- Implementation of child protection measures or youth probation
We ask you to answer a number of questions in the registration form. This way you will be even better prepared when we start talking to each other.
As a municipality, we pay healthcare providers under the Youth Act to provide help. We purchase this help through contracts so that you receive good quality help. You do not have to pay for this yourself.
As soon as we receive the digital registration form, you will receive a confirmation. The sequel:
- We will contact you by telephone to schedule an appointment with a youth counselor.
- Together you discuss what questions you may have and what help may be appropriate.
- You record this together in a plan.
- You will receive a copy of this.
- You send this plan to us signed.
- This serves as a request for assistance.
- You will then receive a decision.
- The youth counselor instructs you to provide the agreed assistance.
- This takes a maximum of 8 weeks. If there is a delay, we will coordinate this with you.
Do you have any questions or are you still unsure? We can be reached by e-mail at cjg@valkenswaard.nl and there is a telephone consultation hour daily from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm Care 040 - 208 34 44, extension number 1.
