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.

Applying for youth care for your child
If you are concerned about your child, we may be able to help you.
Our counselor listens to your story. The care provider will then discuss with you what you can best do. And whether guidance is possible. For example with youth care. This help is not only intended for the children themselves. The people who raise them (parents, guardians) are also helped.
For more information contact the municipality at phone number +31 180 451 234, send an e-mail to info@ridderkerk.nl or fill in our contact form.
