Help with growing up

Preventive youth care - a better future for youth

The municipality of Kerkrade wants to help children and young people grow up healthy, safe and promising. "Preventive youth care" means that we are committed to seeing and addressing problems in time. So that small questions do not become big problems. 

We have several activities that can help with this. This is how we want to ensure a better future for youth.

Worried about children in your community? Send a message

Anyone who deals with children or young people aged minus 9 months to 23 years may issue a signal. A signal is aimed at the safe, healthy and promising upbringing of children in the municipality of Kerkrade. Anyone in Kerkrade can issue a signal.

Do you see or hear things about children in your area that concern you ? Then pass on these signals and send an email to jeugdpreventie@kerkrade.nl

In your email, tell us the following things:

  • What is your Health?
  • In what ways do you encounter it in practice?
  • Specifically, what do you see (numbers, how often, when)?
  • Who have you already been in contact with and what has been tried to improve the situation?
  • What is the problem that makes the signal not improve or not improve enough (no facilities, no contact parents, no contact with organizations)?
  • What should improve? 

Each report is taken up and discussed by the core youth prevention team.

The municipality's Youth Prevention Core Team helps with an overview of activities for growing up healthy, safe and promising. Below you will find the activities available in Kerkrade from the municipality and our partners by theme. 

Do you have tips or would you like to add activities? Then email your tip or the name of the activity, along with your name, phone number, email address and more information about the activity to jeugdpreventie@kerkrade.nl 

Your information will then be reviewed by the core team and possibly added to the list.
