Study Notes
Youth Support in Flanders (2014 and Before)
- Before 2014, different sectors handled youth support, often overlapping and lacking a coordinated approach.
- General welfare services, child and family services, and school counselors (CLB) were involved.
Changes After 2014
- 2014 reforms aimed for a better distribution of responsibilities and a more streamlined system.
- Direct Access to help (RTJ) allows direct access for parents and children, often with a low threshold and no appointment needed
- Broad initial steps (Brede instap) is a type of entry point.
Specialized Support
- Problem-focused help from multidisciplinary teams is available.
- Non-RTJ (NRTJ) uses an intersectoral gateway (ITP) as a first contact point, and a referral to RTJ if no other available path.
- Decisions about the appropriate support are made by the ITP.
- 2 teams are involved, one for initial support and another to coordinate the kind of help needed.
Youth Support
- Crisis youth support (Crisisjeugdhulp) can be provided 24/7 when needed or a crisis situation arises.
- Immediate response and up to 3 days of intensive support can be delivered.
- Crisis support lasting a month with 3-5 sessions per week is also allowed.
- Crisis shelters are also available.
Services for Troubled Youth
- Troubled Youth Support (VOS) services are initiated when concerns arise about a child's development or safety.
- This can include child protection agency (VK) or youth support agencies (OCJ).
- Services are necessary when a child's well-being is threatened due to a problematic home/life situation.
Court-Ordered or Compulsory Help
- In serious situations, a court order can mandate help when voluntary support isn't going to function.
- This is through a request (mandate) from the child protection agency (VK) or youth welfare agency (OCJ).
- The court can force support and a youth can receive further support through a court mandate beyond the age of 18.
Continued Support
- Ongoing support for youth under 25 years is available
- It extends past 18 years of age (maximum 7 years) under certain circumstances.
- Requires an application to the intersectoral gateway (ITP).
Service Types
- Various modules define the specific support services offered.
