Appropriate Support
for your child.

The Youth Point offers clarity in the world of many agencies. We see many young people walking around with questions. However, they often do not know where to turn for a solution. At the Youth Point they quickly find this help! We are a network of professional organizations that offer support to young people.

Customized support

What binds us is the belief that all young people deserve to be able to develop themselves and live a happy life. We offer customized support. We do this in a way that young people themselves indicate they like. This can be during a walk, but also digitally via WhatsApp or a video call. Your son or daughter is also welcome with us 😀.

What does this support look like?

Our staff listens carefully to your son or daughter's story. Together we try to get the question of help clearly on the table. Then we make a concrete action plan together, so that step by step we work towards the intended goal.

For some this is about graduation, for others it is about finding a challenging job and for still others it is about a meaningful daytime activity. At the Youth Point, one is not better than the other, because the starting point is always the young person themselves. Our promise is therefore: "We only let go once we are sure that your son or daughter is in the right place. See below what kind of questions they can come to us with:
