Personalised parenting assistance
Every child deserves to grow up in a safe environment. However, raising children can be very challenging. Sometimes it doesn't work out and problems arise , which prevent a child from developing properly. Youth Care provides support to help you deal with these problems. Together, we decide the best way of supporting the family.
We draw on the strength of the family and those around them, such as relatives or friends. People whom the parent and child trust and who want to help the family. Youth Care draws up a plan together with the family and takes action where necessary.
How can Youth Care help?
- If there are serious parenting issues;
- If a parent or child has behavioural problems;
- If a parent is affected by stress, overwork or poverty;
- If parent(s) have relationship issues or break up;
- If there are alcohol or drug problems in the family involving either the parent(s) or the child.
Youth Care professionals
If a child has problems, Youth Care can put you in contact with a Youth Care professional. This is someone with a great deal of experience in supporting families. The Youth Care professional helps families with complex problems, so that the child can grow up in a safe environment. The Youth Care professional ensures that everyone sticks to the agreements that were made. For each family, we always work with a single plan and a single Youth Care professional. This means we provide personalised care.
