Applying for youth care for your child
Do you want to to apply for youth care (jeugdhulp) for your child? For example, because your child needs extra care or support? You can apply for this at your municipality. You can also contact a youth team (jeugdteam) directly. A youth team supports young people and their families when they need help with growing up and parenting.
You can use a personal budget (persoonsgebonden budget – PGB) to pay for youth care. A PGB is an amount of money that can be used to purchase care or support for personal reasons.
Contact your municipality for youth care for your child. Your municipality provides advice on youth care and will determine the best kind of support for your child. It will do so together with you and your child. The municipality also ensures that your child has access to youth care.
Every municipality implements its youth support differently. Some municipalities have a neighbourhood team (wijkteam) in each neighbourhood, while others have a youth and family centre (Centrum jeugd en gezin).
You can also directly contact your neighbourhood team. A school, GP or sports club can also refer you. The municipality also has a list of youth teams and neighbourhood teams.
This is how it works for you
Here is some information from your municipality.
Youth support
The municipality provides help, care and support to young people and parents who need it. For example, with problems growing up or raising them. Do you have a child for whom you need help, care or support? Then report this to the municipality. The municipality will work with you to determine which youth care your child can receive. In certain cases, you must first submit an application to receive youth assistance.
- Report your request for help to the municipality.
- Provide the municipality with all the information it needs to determine what help your child will receive.
- Talk to the municipality and experts about your child's situation.
- Indicate what you need help with.
A few days after the interview you will receive a report from the municipality. This will tell you if you can get help and if so, what kind. Can you get specific help? Then you apply for help. You will receive a form from the municipality for this.
In some cases, you may have to pay an ouderbijdrage.
