Youth Aid
All children have the right to grow up safe and healthy at home, in their own environment.
The Area Team is responsible for:
- help and support for growing and parenting problems;
- the implementation of child protection and juvenile probation;
- addressing child abuse and domestic violence;
- Specialist help for young people with intellectual disabilities;
- mental health or closed youth care.
If this is not self-evident, or if you need support, you can contact the Area Team. Our consultants will help you and your child(ren) get back on track.
Sometimes it requires additional Health or Protection. For example, mental health care, foster care or youth protection. The Area Team then arranges this for you.
Referral index
The Area Team, like other professional care providers, works with the Referral Index. The Referral Index is a system in which healthcare professionals receive a signal if a child is being counseled/helped by multiple agencies. By knowing this about each other, they can work together to coordinate counseling and Health . For more information, visit www.verwijsindexfryslan.nl.
