Youth and family centres
The core business of a Youth and Family Centre (in Dutch: Centrum voor Jeugd en Gezin – CJG) is connecting, upgrading and strengthening the already available support on growing up and parenting. The basic principles of these centres are: easily accessible, recognizable and close to home.
In 2011 every municipality should have at least one Youth and Family Centre. Smaller municipalities can choose to work together regionally. By law, all centres should offer prevention, advice, support, signaling and light care/support.
